Poly’s football team suffered a devastating blow to its offense when quarterback Antoine Goodson and running back Gabriel Ali-El suffered shoulder separations that will keep them out of Friday's 7 p.m. regional semifinal at Franklin. Both injuries came in Saturday's game against City at M&T Bank Stadium.

The No. 11 Engineers were able to defeat City, 26-20, in overtime after Goodson left the game early in the second half. Ali-El managed to stay on the field and score the game-winning touchdown. Goodson ran for two touchdowns before injuring his right shoulder (his throwing arm) for the second time this season.

Goodson, a senior who orchestrates Poly’s triple-option offense, is now out for the season, Wrenn said, and Ali-El, a junior, will miss Friday night’s game, which would be the last game for the Engineers if they don’t win.

“It’s bad news for us,” said Wrenn, whose team is 9-1. “We’ve lost two 1,000-yard rushers and a whole bunch of touchdowns scored and about three-fourths of our offense. We’re going to limp into the Franklin game a little bit, but we’ll do our best.”
