Red Wolves Release Schedule

After a patch-work covid season a year ago, the chattanooga red wolves will be full bore this year.

They released their 20-21 schedule, which will feature 28 league games starting in may.

Red wolves coach jimmy obleda is anxious to see what his team can do over the long haul this season compared to last year's covid shortened season.

Obleda:"i think the thing that probably jumps out the most i mean of anything is just 28 games.

It's such a different animal than last year.

It was 16 games last year.

It was a sprint.

This is going to be more of a marathon."

Obleda spent the off-season like a college recruiter, bringing in new talent to rebuild the roster.

Obleda:"we scoured the earth man.

Just looked everywhere.

Near and far to find hopefully what we believe are the players that are going to help us continue what we kind of started yesterday.

That mentality that we're in every game.

We're going to fight.

We're brining in 13 new guys.

13 or 14 new guys to the roster, so we're building pretty much a whole new team.

We just needed more depth.

Last year unfortunately we had some big injuries to important players, and we just didn't have the horses to kind of take the reigns as they went down.

The red wolves first game is may 8th on the road against north texas, but chattanooga still hasn't had their first practice.

Obleda:"our players are actually just arriving today.

We actually do not.

They have to be seven days in quarantine."

May 22nd is the home opener at c-h-i memorial stadium, which will sport new features this year, including suites and a jumbo tron.

Obleda:"this year we're going to be playing at 7 o'clock at night with lights.

It's going to be.

Hopefully by the time we start
