Wolves Scrimmage Albany

August 22, 2006
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.
