It was an early morning wake up call, a long trip, and an unexpected injury that combined to make Saturday’s varsity football scrimmage a tough one. The Cougars were on the road to take on Argonaut and, on the second play, lost center Marco Mendoza to a dislocated elbow. Head coach Mark Loureiro said that put a damper on the scrimmage and also resulted in a juggling of players to fill the gap.
