ONTARIO, Calif. -- For Dontel James (Ontario, Calif./Colony), taking it easy has proven to be extremely difficult.
The 6-foot, 205-pound athlete underwent surgery in February for an ACL injury, but the senior pushed back as fast as possible to be ready for the season-opener last Friday. James only received a handful of carries, but said on Monday that his return might have come too quickly.
“I feel like this game I came back too early,” James said. “I want to take it slowly, because I want to be fully back for league.”
