It is always sad when an athlete loses a season to an injury. I myself missed two games and was slowed my Sr. season of high school due to a knee injury. Highlights from the Fargo Forum (sub. site but it is free).

Standout receiver out for the year with torn ACL

It looked harmless enough, a simple crossing pattern over the middle.
But when the play was over Monday morning, wide receiver Travis White, perhaps North Dakota State’s best offensive weapon, suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Bison head coach Craig Bohl said the noncontact injury is an anterior cruciate ligament tear.
After catching a pass, White’s knee buckled.
“It didn’t look like anything,” receiver Marques Johnson said. “He caught the ball and did a spin.” . . .
White has 119 receptions for 1,336 yards and 11 touchdowns in his Bison career. He had a breakout season in 2004 with 57 catches for 776 yards and nine touchdowns.
“To say losing Travis doesn’t change the makeup of our team would be short-minded,” Bohl said. “He’s a big-time player.”
White’s injury likely will make a starter of freshman Kole Heckendorf, who has been working as the No. 3 receiver this fall behind Johnson and White. Bohl is not sure how the depth chart will shake out behind Heckendorf. . . .
Best of luck to Travis, hopefully his recovery will be speedy.
