Mosley starting quarterback Mike Maddox had an X-ray on Saturday morning that determined he did not break his ankle in Friday night’s District 1-5A loss at West Florida in Pensacola. Head coach Jeremy Brown said the X-ray revealed that Maddox had not suffered a broken bone, and that the junior first-year starter would be taken in Monday morning for an MRI. “We’re trying to determine if it’s a high ankle sprain,” Brown said early Saturday afternoon. Maddox was injured before halftime in Mosley’s 22-14 defeat that dropped its season record to 3-1, 0-1 in district. Freshman Liam Byrd, who was listed as 6-foot, 140 pounds on one early season roster, played the entire second half at quarterback against West Florida and will open the week in practice as the No. 1 in Maddox’s absence. Brown said that Byrd’s current weight is closer to 155 pounds. Rather than reach down to the junior varsity for a quarterback replacement, Brown said that Josh Lingenfelter, starting wide receiver, would begin getting repetitions at quarterback this week. “He split time there in the spring,” Brown said of the 6-4, 200-pound junior. “He knows the offense so he’ll take some snaps.” Mosley plays up in class at 6A Fort Walton Beach (2-1) on Friday night.
