An unfortunate injury to Bradley Central starting quarterback Tyler Cook in Thursday’s season opener has opened the door to an opportunity for another talented passer. Cook suffered a knee injury on the Bears first possession in an eventual loss to McMinn County and did not return.

He was scheduled to have the injury evaluated further on Monday afternoon, but it was feared to be an ACL injury, which would sideline him the remainder of the season.

On Monday morning, Cash Bandy — who had been the starting quarterback at Cleveland last season, until suffering a knee injury early in the second game — officially enrolled at Bradley Central.

The transfer will have to be approved by the TSSAA before Bandy becomes eligible to play for the Bears.
