MARION -- The top-seeded Linn-Mar Lions will enter the Class 4A football playoffs without their leading rusher.
Coach Bob Forsyth confirmed Saturday morning that Mitch Wantock suffered a broken right ankle in the third quarter of the Lions' 28-7 win over Cedar Rapids Xavier on Friday at Saints Field.
"It kills you when this happens to a kid, but it happened and you can't change it," said Forsyth, who added that Wantock underwent surgery Saturday morning.
