Clermont East Ridge Coach Bud O’Hara was told Wednesday he no longer has to wear a protective boot on his broken right fibula all the time.
O'Hara still has to wear it when he is out on the field at practice and said he cannot be on the sidelines during games but he said it was a big relief to get out of the boot to do normal activities, such as driving a car. He will be in the press box for this week’s game against West Orange and that may be where he coaches from during the remainder of the season.
“I don’t think I will be able to be on the sidelines all season,” O’Hara said.
O'Hara was injured when he was rolled into by a player during drills in mid-August, and underwent surgery to have a plate and pins put into his leg during the week leading up to the season-opening game.O'Hara was in the press box for his team's preseason game, which was a couple of days before the surgery.
