We've been told that junior running back Theo Riddick will not be playing in Friday night's cross-borough game with Somerville.
Immaculata assistant coach Joe Servidio said that Riddick has a high ankle sprain. The Spartans will use a committee of backs to fill in -- senior Mike Kuhn, junior John Mack and sophomore Kyle Jordan.
Riddick's availability for next week's game at Ridge won't be known for awhile.
Riddick suffered a concussion in last year's game with Somerville, but the Spartans won anyway as graduated fullback A.J. Albert began what turned out to be a dream season for him and the team.
Kuhn also missed last year's opener with turf toe along with the graduated Kent Amoo Achampong, who never came back after a broken wrist suffered in the summer.
So Kuhn, Mack and Jordan can look at this as an opportunity to seize a prominent role in the Spartan offense. Of course, that all changes when Riddick returns.
Nazareth plays at Parkland tonight. Go Blue Eagles.
