Some relatively good news has come out of Phoenix Arcadia this week. It appears the shoulder injury which knocked quarterback Colby Kirkegaard out of Friday’s 14-7 loss at Queen Creek is nothing more than a deep bruise, according to coach Jim Ellison.
The junior, who leads the East Sky Region with a 57.1 completion percentage, will be a game-time decision for this week’s contest against Gilbert Higley.
Ellison said Kirkegaard has full range of motion in his throwing arm and the injury seems to be getting better every day. Kirkegaard is working with a therapist and will sit out most of this week’s practice in order to improve his chance of playing.
To understand Kirkegaard’s importance to the Titans, consider they averaged 37.3 points in the first six games with him at the helm. He directed Arcadia into the end zone on its first possession against Queen Creek. After he was knocked out of the game in the middle of the second quarter, though, the Titans attempted only three passes, one of which was intercepted, and failed to score.
