(So.),. who. joined. the. Bearcatsin. January. from. College. of . the. Canyons.. WUhas.even.more.depth.at.quarterback,.as.a.groupof .skilled.freshmen.will.battle.for.playing.time. With so much talent in the backfield, Whipps will. move. to. wide. receiver,. where. the. Bearcats.can. rely. on. his. athletic. skills.. Such. a. move. willallow Leslie or Whitcomb to be on the field at

the. same. time.. Whipps. also. is. expected. to. seesome.action.at.quarterback.this.season.. “Last. year,. Kevin. Whipps. and. Grant. Leslie.both played significant minutes and both showed real flashes of success,” Speckman said. “I’m also.really.pleased.with.Whitcomb,.as.well.as.our.freshmen. this. season.. We. need. a. playmaker. atthat.position..It’s.going.to.be.a.good.race.”.

Some of the most rewarding moments happen on the sidelines.Whether it’s a crowd of hundreds doing “The Wave” or a couple of parents holding a sign, this is the part of any game that hits home for us — people supporting people.
