Travis Elliott Season-Ending Injury

[StraightShooter]

One of those unexplainable non-contact ACL tears. We will miss seeing a young man with the heart of a champion playing again at the high school level. What a pleasure to watch his hard work turn himself into a D1 athlete. Our prayers are with Travis as he has surgery on Wednesday. I'm sure Travis will rehab quickly and prepare for his next challenge in life at WKU.

A real tragedy. You hate to see a season ending injury of any kind, but especially when it ends his senior season.

Awful..You know the kid will work his tail off to get back on the field asap. Western is getting a true gamer and a very good football player..Good luck young man..

Hate to hear of anyone getting hurt and having to sit out an entire season, especially his senior year. Best of luck to this young man in his surgery, rehab and playing at the next level at WKU.

[Blue Magic]

The surgery and the rehab are going to be the easy part for him. It's watching his team every Friday night that's going to be the hard part. I feel horrible for him.

Thankfully, although a season-ending injury, he'll be able to play again. Wishing a speedy recovery to the young man.

Shame to see a kid miss out on his senior year. He now joins NewCath junior standout Brady Thacker who went down last week and is out for the season.

Terrible, awful, horrible.

 

On to WKU.

 

See you at the gym Travis.

[Bird Bath]

This is aweful news. Get well wishes and we will certainly miss him this season.

[CardinalsFan]

Best wishes from the entire Colerain community. He showed early flashes of solid play. Would have liked to see him the entire game but like most ACL injuries, this was a freak one that couldn't have been prevented.

 

Best of luck on a speedy recovery and in your college career.

Hate to see that for him, the team and the Raider Nation. I don't use the 'deserve' often, but that kid deserved a senior year. Hang in there Travis.

[DRKARK]

Keep your head Travis! You will for sure bounce right back!

[Birdsfan]

Adversity only makes you stronger. You'll be an even better player at WKU than you might have been otherwise.

Tragedy?

 

Can you rephrase that?

The good news is he has until 2013 to get healthy. No question he will go to work.
