Go Friday Night

Bulldogs Bite Wolves At Scrimmage

The young Colorado Wolves took on the Clyde Bulldogs last Thursday night in a final scrimmage before the season kicks off on Friday, Sept. 1 at home against the mighty Wall Hawks.
The Wolves found it was pretty tough to run on the Bulldogs defense, but did move the ball through the air even though they never managed t o put anything into the endzone.
In a live quarter Clyde put up two touchdowns while holding the Wolves to nothing. The Wolves did get into the red zone once, but were unable to get a score.
Going into the first game the Wolves are without senior defensive end Zach Pfueffer for about 4 to 5 weeks with a broken wrist while sophomore quarterback Clint White is out indefinitely with a broken ankle.
Coach Frank Johnson will carry 10 sophomores and a freshmen on the opening game roster when they take the field this Friday night.

Wolves Scrimmage Albany

The young Colorado Wolves took to the road last Saturday morning for a scrimmage with Class A powerhouse Albany, and came away looking for a few answers as well as a possible season ending injury to quarterback Clint White, a promising sophomore player.
"It looks like we may have lost Clint for the season," said head coach Frank Johnson. "We will know for sure in a day or so. Other than that we came out of the scrimmage fairly healthy. I think we need some work on our endurance because we began to tire out late in the scrimmage. There were a few good things, but we still need a lot of work with our offensive line. I feel like we are going to be all right there, but we just need a lot of reps becasue none of these kids have had much playing time on the varsity. It's a huge difference and takes some getting used to as you go from the freshman or JV team to the varsity."
One bright spot in their running game is that Jose Gonzales has returned to workouts as well as freshman Jamarcus Denson taking a lot of handoffs during practice on Monday.
"He may be ready for the varsity by midseaon," said Johnson. "He has good size, but not the speed we had in Jacobie (Russell). "We just have to bring him along real slow."
The Wolves will scrimmage the Clyde Bulldogs this Friday night in a final tuneup before the regular season begins on September 1 when the Wolves entertain the Wall Hawks. It will be "Meet the Wolves" night at Wolves Stadium, a chance to meet all the varsity and JV football players, the girls volleyball team, mangagers, band members cheerleaders, etc.

Wolves Hold Intra-Squad Scrimmage

Last Saturday the Colorado Wolves held an intra-squad scrimmage with the varsity going up against the JV team. Later the JV took on the younger freshmen team. Head coach Frank Johnson said though he was disappointed in some areas, he did come away with a few positives.

"We are very green which is expected when you don't return any starters from the previous year," said Johnson. " We have a lot of work to do, but it's nothing that can't be fixed with some work. We did have a few positive things. We probably will not have our varsity folks picked though until the week we open against Wall becasue the starting jobs are still up for grabs."

The Wolves travel to Albany this Saturday morning to do battle with the Lions. The freshman team start things off at 10 a.m. followed by the JV and the varsity.

60 Report For Two-A-Day Workouts

Sixty Athletes showed up when two-a-day workouts began this morning (Monday) at Wolves Stadium. Among them were five seniors with another to begin later this week.
Head coach and athletic director Frank Johnson begins his ninth year as a member of the Wolves coaching staff, the fifth as the head coach. He is optimistic about the Wolves chanches.
"We are going to be very young and inexperienced, but I believe we are going to challenge some folks this season. We are going into the season with every position up for grabs. The one that wants it the most will be the starter."
Friday the Wolves will be able to go into full pads, but until then, it's shorts and t-shirt along with the wearing of the helmet during practice.

Rebuilding year for C-City Wolves

Two-A-Day Workouts will begin on Monday, August 7, at 7 a.m. for the Colorado Wolves, and the Wolves will be facing a rebuilding year after the loss of 22 seniors.
Only a handful of players come into the season with any experience, and most of those split time between the varsity and JV last season.
Head coach and athletic director Frank Johnson is still somewhat optimistic about the upcoming season.
"You play the cards you are dealt," said Johnson. "We are still going to go out each week and play no matter what people have predicted us to do. I feel like we are going to surprise some folks along the way."
Coach Johnson has added two new coaches to his coaching staff after coach Dustin Anders and coach Sumners departed for greener grass. Coach White comes directly out of Texas Tech where he played intramural football after being a standout fullback at Stanton where they were a state semifinalist his senior year.
