The curtain came down Friday morning for the UW-Whitewater football team's 2010 training camp. Camp ended with a two hour scrimmage that included plenty of repetitions for players looking to earn a roster spot for the regular season.
For the past several years, the WIAC has mandated a 100 player roster limit. Whitewater opened the preseason with 131 on its training camp roster.
”It is a difficult task,” Warhawk head coach Lance Leipold said following Friday's scrimmage. “At this point I believe we have the most players still in camp in my four years here. There are some interesting dilemmas that we have to go through and discuss this weekend and that is unfortunate."
If you have followed Warhawk football closely over the past few years you probably aware that senior leadership is critical for a team's success. After the rest of the squad had departed for the locker room Friday morning, Leipold and the seniors talked about the mission ahead.
"You know, they (seniors) have given so much to this program, and there time,” Leipold said. “As we all know those years can go very fast,” Leipold said. “I just wanted to make sure understood it as we break camp and head into week-one.”
The Warhawks host Adrian College (Mich) in the season opener next Saturday. It is Welcome Back Students Day at Perkins Stadium and a pregame ceremony will be conducted to hoist the 2009 NCAA Division III championship flag. Kickoff is set for 12-Noon.
