Has any team ever had more injury problems in a single season than Holy Cross?

Maybe, but none we know of. If Holy Cross gets banged up any more, it might have to switch to wheelchair basketball.

The latest of the Crusaders' lengthy list health problems is also the latest on Kevin Hamilton's personal list of ailments. Hamilton has played through hip, back and toe problems, with a bout with the flu tossed in for good measure. Now he is battling to find a way to play through a jaw injury first reported here yesterday.

But in today's Worcester Telegram-Gazette (subscription needed), Hamilton tells Jennifer Toland:
"I'll be fine," he said. "I'll have to get used to it." . . .

"It's more annoying than anything," Hamilton said. "You don't realize how much you open your mouth playing basketball. But I'd rather it be my jaw than my leg or ankle or something that would hamper my athletic ability."
Meanwhile, Hamilton's teammate and fellow first team all-league pick Keith Simmons tells the Times Herald-Record's Ken McMillan:
"I will do whatever my team needs me to do," Simmons said. "If Kevin can't go then I definitely have to be one of the players to pick up the slack. I accept that and will be ready to be more aggressive and be more of a leader this weekend."
