Seth Doege Out For Season With TRorn ACL
Frenship loses QB Doege to torn ACL

Frenship starting quarterback Seth Doege tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Saturday and the junior will likely miss the 2006 season.
Tigers head coach Brad Davis said the injury occurred during a 15-play session of an intrasquad scrimmage. On the 11th play, Doege rolled out to his left before a defender grabbed him by the shoulder and twisted him down. Davis said Doege's left cleat caught in the grass.
Davis said an MRI on Saturday indicated a probable tear of the ACL, but that the decision by Doege and his parents to have surgery hasn't been made. That decision will likely come after Doege has the knee examined by another doctor Monday.
"It was just a freakish deal," Davis said. "These things happen in football, and you're always going to face some adversity each year. The kids have to bounce back and get back up. We've got our whole season ahead of us, and we just have to regroup, make some changes and move forward."
Doege transferred to Frenship from Crane when is father, Randy, was hired as the Tigers' offensive line coach. He was a Class 2A first-team all-state quarterback selection last season after throwing for more than 3,000 yards and 32 touchdowns for the Golden Cranes.
In the first week of offseason practice with the Tigers, Doege suffered a partially torn medial collateral ligament in the same knee he injured on Saturday.
Doege was poised to be part of a Frenship team that had been ranked as high as seventh in Class 4A by two preseason polls. With Doege out, junior Nick Hanslik, who was slated to start at receiver and linebacker, will move to quarterback, Davis said. Behind him will be junior Matt Hill, who played on the junior varsity last year, and sophomore Lance Ratliff, both of whom have worked exclusively with the varsity this fall.
