Wentworth football candidates show strength for new season
Wentworth enters the new football season with a stronger outlook after last year’s modest record. Skinny Campbell is pegged to share the quarterback duties with Til lix, while Hillix recovers from a sore foot. The line features Wilson at center with Blake and Butler at guard and tackles Littlefield and Riley.
