Jordan High's John Timu, a star at QB and defensive back, is out for the season after suffering a significant knee injury on the first series of last week's game vs. Pasadena.
An MRI showed that Timu, last year's Moore League Offensive Player of the Year, tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee, which will put him out of commission for the remainder of the year.
It's a big blow for a team that was hoping to compete for the Moore League title with Lakewood and Poly. Without Timu, the Panthers will likely struggle, like they did in losing to Pasadena.
It could also be a blow to Timu's promising career. He recently made an oral commitment to the University of Washington. Let's hope he rehabs well and still gets on with the Huskies.
GOOD LUCK TIMU , YOU WILL BE BACK
