Far From Gone: Hanover Player Watches Success From Sideline

Hanover — Glen Enneper wasn't going to miss Hanover High's home football game against Lebanon a month ago. He won't, notwithstanding as yet feeling the impacts of surgery on his right knee to repair a torn foremost cruciate tendon a few days prior, which constrained the Marauders' senior chief into a wheelchair.

Enneper wore his dark No. 53 Hanover shirt for the contention amusement, shouting his heart out as Hanover's undefeated season proceeded with a 34-8 triumph over the Raiders. As Hanover celebrated on the field, Enneper got himself the focal point of consideration. His partners arranged to embrace him, grasp him, let him know they did it for him.

Some were crying. All were enthusiastic.

"That says it all," Hanover head mentor Sam Cavallaro said amid Monday's JV amusement against Kingswood. "The folks cherish him."

Enneper's greatest lament this fall is not being a piece of Hanover football. In the event that it was dependent upon him, he'd be out there driving the barrier and the hostile line the way he knows how — by illustration.

That plausibility finished before preseason preparing amid a seven-on-seven scrimmage against Woodstock.

"I was doing a seven-yard in highway (a 90-degree alter of course parallel to the yard lines), and I planted and it just clasped under me," Enneper said on Monday. "I was clearly out for the day, yet I was strolling on it on the sidelines. I had a physical checkup the following day, and he said it was most likely a sprain. I said, 'alright, I'll return in two weeks and I'll be prepared for the season.' But it didn't show signs of improvement."

Enneper, who was chosen as chief for the second in a row season in a vote of his colleagues, was determined weeks after the fact to have a total tear of his ACL, a damage that requires surgery took after by months of restoration. Specialists said Enneper, who likewise plays ball, would have the capacity to return in 6 to 9 months, taking out the likelihood of taking the court this winter too.

The underlying stun took a while to get over.

"I was miserable for several weeks," Enneper said. "In any case, these folks are astonishing. My companions have helped me up. My family, my mentors, everybody's simply been so strong of me."

The damage terrified Cavallaro, who had permitted Enneper to play out of position as a running back for the apparently safe scrimmage. After a 40-handle execution a year back, Hanover's training staff was counts on having Enneper in the trenches this year.

"He's a pioneer and a mind boggling player," Cavallaro said. "We were expecting 80 or more handles out of him. I only sort of realized that it would not have been great. It wasn't prompted by a hit. I had a terrible feeling. The mentors on the sideline were somewhat holding our breath."

From that point forward, Enneper has watched his Marauders outscore rivals, 258-84, in transit to building a 7-0 record and securing a NHIAA Division II playoff spot heading into Friday's home amusement against Kennett. Enneper said his greatest modification, other than watching diversions from the sidelines, has been the change of administration style.

Rather than showing others how its done, Enneper has needed to utilize his words to educate.

"It's unquestionably an enormous inspiration, since he's the individual who needs to be over here the most, by a long shot," Hanover senior running back Reed Winter said. "He's a pioneer on the field, off the field. He's only an amazing player. He would have been the pioneer of the O-line, the pioneer of the barrier."

Different colleagues said the feelings after the amusement against Lebanon set the way that the Marauders were playing for their harmed commander.

"It was directly after his surgery," senior wide beneficiary Avery Monahan said,

"That was the first occasion when we had seen him since the surgery, in the wheelchair," senior wide beneficiary Sam Ives said. "Just before the Lebanon amusement. I think it was a truly passionate time."

Enneper invested some energy Monday watching Hanover's JV before making a beeline for the Marauders' varsity hone. He's on bolsters now and said he has an arrangement today to see whether he can start strolling without help, helped by a regimen of leg lifts and hamstring practices intended to reconstruct quality in his knee. Enneper said he wants to go for the young men lacrosse group in the spring to get in one all the more secondary school varsity don before he graduates.

Until then, he's bringing things with a grain of salt and an inspirational state of mind. At this moment, his center is on Hanover football. Regardless of the possibility that he can't be on the field making pieces or handles, Enneper said he needs to satisfy his captaincy obligations in any capacity he can.

"I'm still a part of the group," Enneper said. "The silver covering is I get the opportunity to see every one of the general population who look after me. I'm considering concentrating on exercise based recuperation in school. I settled on my choice before (the harm), however now I get the opportunity to see both sides of it.

"There is a silver coating. Everything happens which is as it should be."
