High School Football

He was third in the section in rushing in 2018. Now, his high school career is over

In the second quarter of Big Valley Christian’s 41-28 loss to Le Grand on Sept. 6, Lions senior running back Javyn Drobnick suffered a right knee injury.

He missed the following game against Waterford and had two MRI’s, hoping it was just a sprain.

In a text, Lions coach Brian Berkefeld confirmed on Monday that Drobnick, who finished third in the section with 2,211 rushing yards last year, will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

It’s a tough blow for Drobnick, who said in the offseason he changed his diet and hired a trainer as he prepared for his final season of high school football.

Drobnick is the school’s all-time leader in rushing yards (4,154) and rushing touchdowns (50).

Big Valley Christian (1-3) is at Delta on Friday.
