KEY INJURY HITS CANYON: SCHANTZ OUT.Byline: GERRY GITTELSON Community Sports The rash of summer football injuries continued last week as Canyon High linebacker Andrew Schantz - considered by many one of the Southland's top college prospects - injured his ankle, forcing him to miss the high-powered Nike-sponsored passing tournament in Long Beach on Thursday. Coach Harry Welch said Schantz ``rolled his ankle'' and is out indefinitely. It is unclear how severe the injury is, and Schantz was not available for comment.

At first Wolfe was expected to miss the entire season, but Hart assistant coach Rick Herrington said Thursday that Wolfe might be back by November, which would mean he'd be available for the Southern Section playoffs. ``It's not quite as bad as we thought,'' Herrington said. ``Normally, you wait four weeks to have surgery, but he had it the next day. So who knows? In a best-case scenario he could be back sometime in November, but we can't plan on it.''
