Wolves Close, But No Cigar
The Colorado Wolves got close to a win last Friday night, but as they say, close is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades!
The Wolves had a bad case of the turnover blues in the first half, two of which helpe the Coahoma Bulldogs come up with 14 first half points, one on a blocked punt while the other from an interception.
The Wolves came back in the second half to tie things up at 14-14 early in the final period. The visitors from the West, however, came back late in the contest on a drive that used 10 plays and more than five minutes of clock on the drive that began on their own 17 yard line.
The touchdown, a one-yard plunge by Bulldog quarterback Blaine Kerby, came with 1:18 left to go in the game.
The Wolves used four passing plays in the last minute, but all fell incomplete.
The Wolves hope to end the skid this Friday night when they take on the Merkel Badgers in Merkel with a 7:30 p.m. kickoff slated.

Second Half Dooms Wolves In District opener
The Colorado Wolves opened district play on the road against the Haskell Indians last Friday night, but a second half eruption by the Indians doomed the upset chance for the Wolves.
The Wolves drew first blood on a long run by freshman Jamarcus Denson, and after a successful PAT the Wolves found theirselves with a lead for the first time this season.
After Haskell answered with a touchdown of their own to cut the lead to 7-6, the Wolves came back with another touchdown, this time on a one yard touchdown by quarterback Kolby Free after a 29-yard touchdown catch and run by junior wide receiver Simon Reyna.
After taking a 13-6 lead into the second half, the sky began to fall on the Wolves.
Haskell came out of the second half fired up and ready to play as they scored three third quarter touchdowns to take control of the contest.
The final score was Haskell 40, Colorado 13.
"It certainly hurt when we lost three of our starting seniors as well as our freshman running back," said head coach Frank Johnson. "Things just began to snowball and we couldn't run our formations that we had planned because we didn't have any backs left."
This week the Wolves host the Stamford Bulldogs in their homecoming tilt.
Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
