Ragsdale's DeSean Anderson could miss season

The junior quarterback/receiver/cornerback/punter suffered a concussion Friday after being hit during a scrimmage at Eastern Guilford.
"I had a massive headache, couldn't see straight," said Anderson, who was at practice Tuesday afternoon in street clothes and a wide smile.
Anderson, who has had two negative CT scans and is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, will likely miss half the season and said it's possible he might not play at all this year. The injury deprives the Tigers, one of the favorites in the Mid-Piedmont 3-A, of perhaps their most versatile weapon. Anderson was scheduled to take about 20 percent of Ragsdale's snaps at quarterback, providing a mobile threat to complement pro-style senior Tim Romer.
It’s Anderson's second such injury in six months — the first came during baseball season, when he ran face-first into the center-field fence while trying to make a catch.
This injury wasn't as bad as his first one, and perhaps he's learned some things about recovery since then. In his first game back from his first concussion, Anderson took a called third strike and hit himself on the helmet with his bat. He had to sit out another week.
