I don’t know but it might just be that our Sports Information Department is understaffed and overworked. How many hats does Daniel Hooker wear? Folks can only do so much. You might be right though.

Agreed, there has definitely been a drop off. This goes back to the MASSIVE amount of turnover in the dept. The Sports Communication Dept lost four out of six staff members last year. Several of them wanted to stay but realized there was no room for growth. I know this is an area often forgotten about/neglected by AG. Jeff Burger was doing most of the football communications but since his promotion I guess that seat is empty for the moment. I honestly don’t know how we’ve kept Daniel Hooker for so long. Agreed that I would love to see more updates. I feel in limbo when it comes to where our spring sports stand unless I go and look myself.

Did anyone see the scrimmage today and if so, do you have any information that you can share?

Especially since we are getting “zip” out of WCU!

Western Carolina's offense scored on each of its first four possessions on Saturday. Among the highlights, running back Corey Reddick scored on around a 70-yard touchdown romp, while returning tailback Branson Adams punched in a four-yard touchdown run off tackle. Among the five quarterbacks that split reps, returning starter Cole Gonzales was sharp during the early parts of Saturday's scrimmage. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Santana Fleming made several contested catches through tight coverage by the WCU secondary. Tight end Jake Young also came down with a 40-yard circus catch at the two-yard line among the notable plays. On special teams, placekicker Paxton Robertson split the uprights from 35 yards out.

🏈Spring Game 🏈
Catamount football hits the turf in full uniform for the final time this spring as the squad's 15 practices culminate with the much-anticipated 2024 Spring Game. The team's final practice session is scheduled to begin at Noon on the turf of Bob Waters Field at E.J. Whitmire Stadium. Beginning at Noon, the event is open to the public and admission is free. WCU head coach Kerwin Bell and the senior leadership held a player-led Spring Game Draft on Thursday afternoon to split the roster into two squads at all three levels – offense, defense, and special teams – for Saturday's competitive scrimmage. One squad will wear the home purple jerseys over the team's gold pants while the other will dress in white jerseys over purple pants. For the second consecutive year, this season's Spring Game will again pit the two teams against one another as opposed to past seasons when the offense squared off against the defensive unit. The format for Saturday is designed to replicate a game day as close as possible through the first half with the team utilizing a running clock up until the final five minutes during the second half with Southern Conference officials on the field. The schedule also calls for a brief, 10-minute halftime period. Western Carolina Football – 2023 Spring Roster (PDF) Western Carolina Football – Purple / White Team Rosters (PDF)
