Seay out for season?

Marshall County's basketball program got some bad news this weekend. Denver Seay, expected to be a starter at forward, will undergo surgery to repair a separated shoulder and could miss the entire season. Seay, a starter at quarterback and defensive end on Marshall's football team, sustained the injury in an Oct. 24 loss to Henderson County.

Seay will have the surgery this week, and is expected to need five months to recover and rehab the shoulder. That would knock him out of the season altogether.

Josh Madding, who is expected to start at shooting guard, broke his right arm in the Henderson game, and it might be around Christmas before he can work his way on to the court. Madding was also slowed by an injury last year — a separated shoulder that nagged him for most of the 2007 football season may have cost him a starting spot, because by the time he had regained his health, Marshall was off to a hot start and reluctant to change the starting lineup and alter team chemistry.

Madding only started twice last season, including a performance in which he hit four 3-pointers in a 61-57 loss to Paducah Tilghman in the First Region semifinals.
