Red Wolves top Aggies

Vipers open practice in two days
The players weren't in the field house, but Mickey Finley and his coaching staff had football on the mind on Friday afternoon. Finley was demonstrating technique to his assistant coaches in the hallway as I walked into the Memorial football ...

And they're off
