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.
