Samuel W. Wolfson High School has been a staple in the Jacksonville community for several decades. They’re a proud group of alumni and individuals and excel at academics, sports and life.
Well, except football. And 2015 was no exception.
Ask any alum, and they’ll admit that football isn’t Wolfson’s strong suit. However, they’re looking to change perceptions and recover from their winless season last year.
And, they’re in a perfect position to do just that, considering all three of their biggest offensive weapons are all returning this year.
Senior Torey Reed and Juniors King Simmons and George Pulliam are back for 2016 and are sure to make an impact.
They don’t really have much of a choice: Wolfson only averaged 5.6 points per game, while giving up an average of a whopping 39.2 points per game. That’s the biggest point differential in the area. They’ll need some serious help to bolster the offensive number, and the defense must step up to help out as well.
Overall, Wolfson’s winnable games come against Paxon, Middleburg, Westside and Englewood. Barring a miracle, they will likely lose to Raines, Mandarin, Terry Parker, Episcopal and Ponte Vedra. The other games are up for grabs, and hopefully the Wolfpack reaches up and grabs them.
