Prep football: CdM’s Hendy out two weeks

Barry Faulkner

CORONA DEL MAR - Corona del Mar High junior quarterback Dylan Hendy

will miss at least two weeks with a fracture in the growth plate of his

left wrist, Sea Kings Coach Dick Freeman said Monday.

Hendy, who fell awkwardly on the wrist near the end of the first half

of a 37-7 Pacific Coast League-opening win over Costa Mesa Friday, went

to the hospital that night, but was not examined by an orthopedist until

Monday.

Hendy, a transfer from Fountain Valley, had emerged as the starter

after sharing time the first three games this fall. He has thrown for 434

yards and six touchdowns, completing 25 of 54 with six interceptions.

Until Hendy returns, junior Joe Barber will assume full-time duty.

Barber has completed 18 of 46 for 238 yards and three TDs, with three

interceptions.

Freeman said Hendy is scheduled to have his hard cast removed in two

weeks, at which time his availability will be assessed.

The Sea Kings (3-3, 1-0 in league) host Northwood Thursday, then visit

Laguna Beach in Week 8.
