Lincoln-Way Central’s Justin Cobbs has been getting some great opportunities to carry the ball since Luke Tingley was injured in the second week of the season.

But make no mistake about it, the 5-foot-7, 185-pound senior running back isn’t happy about Tingley being on the shelf with a broken tibia and fibula.

“I’m doing all of this for him,” Cobbs said of his teammate. “Hopefully, he gets to come back and we can do it together.”

Tingley, who said he’s going to the doctor Thursday for a progress report, has his fingers crossed for a possible return this season.

“When I was first injured, they said I would be out 3-10 months,” Tingley said. “But I’m ahead of schedule.”

In Tingley’s absence, Cobbs is piling up big numbers. He ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries Friday
