Sonora Blasts Wolves 28-0
The Colorado Wolves lost to the Sonora Broncos in their final pre-district game of the season last Friday night at Wolves Stadium by a score of 28-0.
The strong Bronco defense held the Wolves to 52 total yards of offense, 33 on the ground and 19 through the airways.
The Broncos scored 21 points in the second quarter to break open what looked like to be a good defensive battle between the two squads. The third touchdown of the quarter came with 21 seconds left to go before the half on a busted assignment.
"We have two weeks to get prepared for Haskell, and our first district game," said head coach Frank Johnson. "All eight teams will start district play at 0-0 with everyone having a chance to win district. Making the playoffs is still one of our goals. Nothing has happened to change that. We may be 0-3, and I hate that, but we still have as much chance as anyone in the district."
After an open week the Wolves will open district play against the Haskell Indians who are 2-0 after a bye week.

wolves Lose To Grape Creek Eagles 34-6
In what was built up to be a duel between two evenly matched teams did not live up to expectations.
In fact, it didn't live up to any hoopla whatsoever.
Playing in the first game of the second annual Sammy Baugh Classic in Sweetwater, the Wolves were held to only six points as they went down in defeat to the Eagles by a score of 34-6. The Only score for the Wolves came early in the third quarter when senior Jerrod Ward, playing in his first game of the season, scored on a 58-yard gallop with 11:33 left to game in the quarter. The point after kick by Ward did not prove true leaving Grape Creek up 20-6 at that point.
Ward ended the game with 113 yards on six carries while Wolves quarterback Kolby Free wound up with 92 yards on 20 carries. Free also completed three of 10 passes for 18 yards on the night.
"Unless we learn to play with better technique, and learn to play better as a team we are not going to win many games," said head coach/AD Frank Johnson. "Our problem is that when we do something wrong we begin to self-destruct."
The Wolves will face the Sonora Broncos next Friday night at Colorado City with kickoff slated for 7:30 p.m.

Hawks Devour Wolves 48-0
Things did not get off on a good start last Friday night at Wolves Field in their home opener against the Wall Hawks when the officiating crew did not show up for the game.
Then, after finding a crew to referee the game, things got progressively worse for the Wolves young football squad.
After a slow start, the Hawks made up for lost time as they rolled to a 41-0 halftime lead. The Wolves held the Hawks to a single touchdown in the second half with reserves doing most of the work.
The one bright spot for the Wolves was the emergence of freshman quarterback-running back Jamarcus Denson who came in to replace junior starting quarterback Kolby Free who went out due to an injury.
Denson, the first freshman to make the varsity squad for the Wolves in several years, The 14-year old was baptized under fire, but composed himself well after fumbling his first possession.
The Wolves will try to turn the ship around next Thursday night when they play the Grape Creek Eagles to open the second annual Sammy Baugh Classic that is being held in Sweetwater. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
