Lawrence High head coach Dirk Wedd offers his support to injured player Brad Strauss during the Lions' game against Olathe Northwest on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011 at LHS.

Lawrence High junior quarterback Brad Strauss hobbled his way into the bleachers at Tuesday’s soccer game, wearing a black boot on his left foot. The good news for Lions fans was that he was walking by himself, but he wasn’t in any shape to break off long touchdown runs.

It turns out that the injury he sustained in Friday’s loss to Olathe Northwest was only a sprain, but Strauss still has a noticeable limp.

He said Tuesday that if all goes well the next couple of days, he wouldn’t rule out playing against Free State at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.
