Mason County football coach David Buchanan says he doesn't expect junior quarterback Neal Pawsat to return to action this season. Pawsat suffered a knee injury in the opening minutes of the Royals' 47-13 win over Greenup County Friday. Buchanan says Pawsat had an M.R.I. today, but the results were not available early this evening. Buchanan made the comments on the McDonald's High School Football Show on WFTM.
"I don't expect him to be back this year," Buchanan said. "I know that Neal and his family appreciate the prayers, and I know a lot of folks are interested, and I appreciate that concern, I know the Pawsats do too."
Buchanan made it clear, Pawsat will not be rushed back into action.
"I don't want Neal to feel like there is pressure on him to play until he would feel like he was ready to play," Buchanan said.
He added, "When we know for sure the timeline, I'd said we'll talk about that."
Buchanan said he is glad that he thinks at some point, Pawsat will be back at 100 percent,
"based on what I know now, I don't think that's going to be this year."
Back-up quarterback Colt Fearis scored four touchdowns for the Royals Friday night. Mason County hosts East Ridge this Friday night in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs.
