South two-way football standout James McCarthy tore his right anterior cruciate ligament on a recruiting visit to Syracuse University and will miss the fall season, [URL='http://highschoolsports.nj.com/news/article/568379577418891063/middletown-souths-lb-rb-james-mccarthy-injured-on-recruiting-visit-out-for-season/'][U]according to NJ Advanced Media[/U][/URL]. “We were doing a box drill and my cleats got caught in the turf and my knee went the wrong way,” McCarthy told NJ Advanced Media. “I had intense pain, but the pain went away. The trainer told me I could go back in, but it just didn’t feel right inside. “I was close to committing to Syracuse before the injury. But it opened my eyes to the idea of what happens after football. I called the Penn coaches and they were fine even with the injury.” [/QUOTE]
