bad news for future Zip

Two days after committing to the University of Akron, Lake Catholic senior Randy Greenwood suffered a broken leg in a scrimmage Thursday night in Mentor's Osborn Stadium. Greenwood suffered the injury -- one week before the season opens -- after making a sideline catch and was tackled. "It got caught in the turf and I rolled my ankle," Greenwood said. "I think someone fell on it or it was my weight coming down on it. I'm not sure what happened. "I'm mad and a little depressed. That's life and you have to come back from it." Greenwood broke his fibula, the lower leg bone, near the mid-calf. Greenwood will be out at least six weeks, he and Lake Catholic coach Mike Bell said. Lake Catholic opens the season next Saturday against Euclid. "We'll get to see him soon, it's just a matter of when," Bell said after Greenwood visited practice Friday morning. Greenwood was to have been a big part of the offense as a receiver and tailback, and was a standout cornerback and punt returner. Greenwood had 953 yards rushing and receiving, 13 TDs and four interceptions last year. Running backs Darien Nulick and Matt Bryan probably will get more carries until Greenwood returns, Bell said. Greenwood (6-0, 180) was to be among the top players in Greater Cleveland this season. He is fast and has an outstanding ability to change directions. An exceptional all-around athlete, he was the Division II state runner-up in the long jump (23-0) and placed 10th in the high jump (6-0) last spring.
