Injured players E T I N E on pace T l a A u L h n t 1 1 n a e th s ’ t i to return
The timing couldn’t have been worse. Leading up to the Ball State football team’s critical game against Northern Illinois last fall, running back Horactio Banks tore his ACL in practice. Early during the game, just several hours later, corner back Quintin Cooper fell to the ground with a broken leg. In a single day, both players’ seasons were finished. “I had a really strong start to the game, three straight tackles,” Cooper said. “Then I got hurt and it was devastating. I tried to stand up and I couldn’t. I knew it was something serious.” The pair of players has worked over the offseason to recover from their injuries in time for August, when the new season of Ball State football kicks off. It’s a slow, methodical process that has tested the patience of Cooper and Banks. They can’t compete in many team activities and are limited in what they can do in practice.

State students that bring a student ID, but guests, faculty and staff will be charged $5 for admission. By Friday, a full transformation of the commuter lot will be complete with rides supplied by Poor Jack Amusements, a family owned company that started as a pony ride operation back in 1944, said co-owner Gary Bohlander.
