Shields should be OK for Saturday
-
- February
- 28
Spoke with Rich Desiderio earlier today and he told me Brittany Shields should be fit for Saturday’s Class C championship game.
Ok, Ok…maybe fit isn’t the right word. The Tuesday night hero limped into the arena during the Blind Brook-Hamilton game and appeared to move gingerly every step. But Desiderio said she saw the doctor this morning and the diagnosis was a sprain.
The only way she’ll get better is by resting, icing it, and stretching the area, but there’s limited time between now and Saturday. But Shields is tough. Expect her to grit her teeth and play through pain.
As Karlyn Adler of Blind Brook told me before, “Oh no, I know she’ll play.”
And if Shields is on the floor then the Blue Devils have to be a strong favorite to win their 15th straight gold ball.
I’ll be back with more on Irvington-Albertus Magnus later…
