Northwestern 'no longer allowed' at Mona Shores after pulling offer from injured player

MUSKEGON - The pain of suffering a torn ACL in the same knee twice in roughly nine months was bad enough.

The dreadful feeling Damari Roberson realized -- that his high school career was over -- when he had re-injured his left knee a few weeks ago was even worse.

The betrayal that Roberson and Mona Shores coach Matt Koziak felt from some coaches after the scholarship offer from Roberson's preferred college choice was no longer valid following his second injury, now that really hurt.

A promising high school career for Roberson, a dynamic 6-foot-2, 195-pound receiver/linebacker/return man for Mona Shores and a three-star prospect, is over abruptly.
