Greeley, CO - In arguably the most important scrimmage of fall camp, the defense pleased Head Coach Ed Lamb as he feels like they took a step forward. At the same time, Lamb told his team that the offensive production has made the defense better. Quarterbacks Peter Costelli and Hank Gibbs ran their offensive units well. Costelli broke free on a couple of plays. Running Back David Afari ripped off some huge runs including a long touchdown. Vann Schield ran with authority as did Kamron Randell-Taylor, Jacquez Robertson and Jordan Hornbeak. Freshman RB Mathias Price will be fun to watch in the years to come. He is 6'2" 215lbs. and runs downhill on every play. RBs Caden Meis and Darius Stewart are getting closer to returning after suffering frustrating injuries. WR River Stout hauled in a big catch as did Ryder MacGillivray for a touchdown. Hunter Green was perfect on all of his field goals and extra points. The defense is young but players like KJ Smedley continue to fly around and make plays every scrimmage and practice. RB Justin Guin (Jr. Transfer Fresno State) made some big plays including a touchdown reception and rush. Thank you for becoming a supporter on this site and GO BEARS!
UPDATE: Winter conditioning and spring football can sometimes be a grind so Carson Keach had a little fun last week following an interception. The sophomore from Ponderosa HS in Parker, CO executed his best cartwheel downfield after picking off a pass. Two more weeks of spring football remain for the UNC Bears.

UPDATE: Redshirt Jr. Rocco Traore enters his fourth season with the UNC Bears football program. However, this is his first month playing running back at the college level. He was a great running back in high school in the Seattle area but was more valuable as a defensive back in Greeley the past three years. He's seen a lot during his time with the Bears including teammates leaving like Carver Cheeks and Noah Mangham did last week. Rocco takes it all in stride.

Good Morning: Happy Easter! One of the spiritual leaders on the UNC Bears team is R-Jr. LB Jordan Davis (32) who always has a smile on his face and puts team first. He was a star at Cherokee Trail HS in Aurora and his dad played running back at Kansas with the Jayhawks in the late 90s. Davis is one of those guys you have to have in order to enjoy success in college football.
