Kayla's Knee?

Don't know if her ACL is torn or not yet. She was in quite a bit of pain. Tough break for a super player. If there is anyone that can come back from this.............. IT'S KAYLA SCHMITZ. One of the toughest, most determined, athletes to come along.
 
Excuse me, but there is not a Kayla on the team. The only Kayla I heard of was Kayla Lambert but she couldn't play for the Lady Griz.


You must be thinking of Michela Schmitz.
 
By the way, Michela Schmitz will be seeing a doctor tomorrow and will have an MRI. The injury was to her good knee. Thus, if she can play again, she will be playing with 2 braces, one on each knee. Quite unfortunate for her after working so hard the past year recuperating from an acl on her other knee.
 
If she's out that puts us down to 1 true point guard and 1 converted point guard right??

Ouch...
 
Actually, Michela was the one true point guard. The other true point guard was Jackie Deshaser who is also out due to an ACL.

Monaco is the starting converted point guard which won't change.

Dana Conway, is now the back up point guard. Considering she has spent almost all her time at the 2 guard, she is, for all practical purposes, a converted point guard.

Seems to me, point guard position is very tough on knees. Not sure I can list all the point guard players who have had ACL injuries.

But, here is a list of them that I can remember:

1. Vickie Austin - one hell of a point guard that along with Shannon Cate and Jean Mcnulty would have lead the Lady Griz to the sweet 16 if Vickie didn't suffer an ACL that ended her career.

2. Skyla Cisco - suffered her ACL late her sophomore season against Boise State on the road. Never was at full strength until her senior year.

3. Megan Harrington - Suffered hers at the Sentinel gym against MSU. Lady Griz were up two points at the time she suffered hers. Lady Griz went into a tail spin, lost several games before recovering enough to just make the tournament where it was one game and out.

4. Michela Schmitz - Last year. Never read anything about it, but she suffered an ACL sometime last year. Recovered enough to play this year.

5. Jackie Deshaser - suffered an ACL early prior to start of season.

6. Michela Schmitz ? - I sure hope she hasn't suffered another one to her other knee.
 
Excuse me Truegriz but I've been calling her kayla since she was 3 as do most that know her well.

Sorry, guess I should have realized it, but I never heard anybody call her that. Not even Robin Selvig. But, now I know.

Do not forget the first great Lady Griz to comeback from knee surgery.......Cheri Bratt

And don't forget Skyla and Megan.

But, Bratt didn't have as many as Schmitz has had so far. Both knees. Likely to make a comeback more difficult than the comeback that either Bratt, Harrington, or Sisco had.
