Walpole High senior tailback Ryan Izzo is on the mend after suffering a dislocated right shoulder at a lacrosse camp in Baltimore last week, according to his father, Ron.

The Globe's two-time Division 2 Player of the Year, Izzo is aiming to be ready for the Rebels' regular-season opener, Friday, Sept. 11, at Bay State Conference rival Framingham. Walpole, along with schools across the state, can open preseason camp on Monday, Aug. 24.

The 5-foot-8, 160-pound Izzo scored 38 touchdowns as a junior, including three scores, along with 193 rushing yards, in Walpole's 41-21 win over Mansfield in the EMass Division 2 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium. He enters his senior season needing 177 points to break the state's all-time scoring record.
