Team News - 2013 First Scrimmage Report

The Golden Rams enjoyed great weather for their first scrimmage of the summer. The modified-rules game saw the offense move the ball fairly well, but settle only for a Shawn Leo field goal in the "first half". The most memorable play was a nice fingertip interception by R-Fr. defensive back Kevin Malone.

In general, the offense opened up for more scoring in the "second half". If only head coach Bill Zwaan could nullify holding calls against his offensive line by merely making such a request of the officials during the regular season. Leo later converted on a 46-yard field goal, So. running back Eddie Elliot showed what he can do when he gets in the open field, Fr. defensive back Pete Galiano had a nice interception and So. James Rusenko might be a dual threat both throwing and catching the ball.

The best thing about the scrimmage is that everybody that was in uniform played. So the coaches have game action film on E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y.

The second and last scrimmage of the summer is scheduled for Saturday, August 31 at 10:00 am in Farrell Stadium.
