NITRO COACH John Sowards
confirmed five Wildcat players quit the team in the past week, but he noted
that was not an unusual occurrence for the program.
"We started with
61, which is about the norm, and usually we end up in
the 30s," Sowards said. "It's pretty much par for the course."
In his first year as
head coach at Nitro, Sowards has watched his team stumble through four
consecutive losses after winning its opener at Poca.
Untimely turnovers and a
lack of experience largely have been the culprits, he said.
"We just have to
learn to take on to the ball better," said Sowards, whose team threw four
interceptions against Capital on Friday.
Nitro travels to St.
Albans (2-4) on Friday for the annual "Battle of the Bridge."
