Marion High School senior Cale Cannoy received a clean bill of health from his doctor Monday morning and has been cleared to play quarterback for the Indians this season.

Cannoy suffered a partially torn ligament in his left throwing elbow in early June during the baseball season and was not allowed to throw a baseball or football for two months. He did some light throwing in Marion's practices last week and now has permission to start putting more zip on the ball.

"He got the green light," Cannoy's father, Mike, said Monday night. "The doctor said everything looked great. There was no tenderness. He said you're good to go."

"There were a lot of smiles on Cale's face when he heard the news," Mike Cannoy said.

The doctor told Cannoy he's free to start throwing a baseball again, but advised he wait until after the football season.

Cannoy probably will play defense with a precautionary brace on his left arm, but will try throwing with and without the brace to see if he wants to wear it on offense.
