ACL Tear (Torn ACL)

Emmalee Burford

I came to HSS after injuring my knee at the Girls’ Junior Nationals Championships. I tore my ACL, MCL and had bucket handle tears in both meniscus. It took two surgeries, and tons of therapy. I had a great volleyball season senior year. I returned to my starting position, my team won States and I earned a coaches award.
