JOEY FONTANA: Third time's the charm?

by **PonyPride** » Mon Jan 17, 2011 9:25 pm

Recovery from injuries can be a lengthy process, but few have endured the recovery process SMU offensive lineman Joey Fontana has endured since ripping up his knee in December 2009. Fontana will undergo his third operation next week in an effort to improve the use of his foot and leg, and possibly allow him to return to the field.

Enjoy!

I like this kid.

I have had the good fortune of getting to know Joey, and he always has a smile on his face, very respectful, friendly, encourages his teammates, works his tail off, and is always trying to help recruit future Mustangs. This is the type of young man that makes you proud to support.

Ditto. That's the kind of interview you don't get anywhere else. Great story, webbies.
Good luck, Joey! Like Special_Delivery said, we're all pulling for you.

If everyone had Joey's attitude an desire, SMU would be undefeated.
All the best for a full recovery, Joey.

I was about to ask for a Fontana update again so this article is very welcome. I am sorry this third procedure has become advisable but wish Joey the success and good fortune his determination deserves.
