Scots lose Heyboer
Maryville College forward Tara Heyboer, a member of the Great South Athletic Conference’s 2009 All-Freshman team, is done for the season after tearing her right ACL in a 71-68 loss to Carson-Newman on Dec. 2.
“I just jumped up and went to pass and it popped,” Heyboer said Thursday. “I had a pretty good clue (it was torn).”

The sophomore from Seymour exploded onto the court last year, averaging more than eight points and five rebounds per game as a supersub off the bench. Heyboer had scored 42 points in six games this season before being sidelined. She will have surgery Dec. 23.
“I was just really upset and kind of felt bad for my team cause i couldnt help them anymore,” Heyboer said.
