Another Jordan comeback?

Remember the Ian Krol for Jordan Williamson and Bryan Berryman for Ian Krol plan painfully detailed in today's print edition of The Sun?

Well, thankfully for Neuqua Valley, that merry-go-round between center field and first base may only happen for a few games, although very important games.

Williamson's X-rays came back negative Tuesday night, which means Neuqua's leadoff hitter and center fielder shouldn't have to miss the rest of the season with a broken hand.

Here's the catch: there was so much swelling, doctors scheduled a follow-up with Williamson at 3:30 p.m. today. Cross your fingers, Wildcats fans, for positive (um, negative) results on Williamson's check-up.

Neuqua coach Robin Renner remains hopeful that Williamson will be back in the lineup by Monday. In that case, here's the schedule Neuqua will face without him.

The Wildcats (12-3, 8-1 Upstate Eight Conference) have league matchups with Lake Park today, Waubonsie Valley on Thursday, St. Charles North on Friday and two more against rival Waubonsie on Saturday.

Currently, St. Charles North and Neuqua are co-leaders.

"I think the winner of the conference will have three losses," Renner said. "I think the team that has four losses will be second."

You know what he means. Neuqua can only afford two more league losses.

Stay tuned for more on Jordan's comeback.
