Ben Boggs ‘ high school basketball career came to an abrupt end on December 4th, when he suffered a broken right tibia and fibula on a baseline drive against Northside. A month later, the 6-4, 180-pound Hidden Valley (Roanoke, VA) star is in a more positive frame of mind and very much on the road to recovery.

“It’s going good,” Boggs said of his recovery. “It was really tough at first, especially with this being my senior season and everything and knowing I was out for the season. I went through a tough stage, but all my family, friends and people in the community have been really supportive. I’m getting better. Right now, I can put 20 percent of my weight on my foot. I go back to the doctor in about 10 days and he said I could possibly start riding a bicycle soon.”

One rod and three screws – which can be removed in the future – were placed in Boggs’ leg in mid-December.
