West Texas Roughnecks News Release
ODESSA, TX. Tempers flared during an evening practice in which players knew they wouldn't all be returning the following day and a few minor scuffles broke out. "The guys knew there would be cuts and it definitely made them get after each other a little more. In all it was a very spirited practice and the small scraps we had just show that the players have plenty of fire," stated Head Coach, Chris Williams.
The following six players were released:
Antwan Blatch QB
Ricardo Garcia FB/LB
Chris Griffin QB
Glen Johnson LB
Derek Moore WR
O'Neil Strain LB/FB
The following players have been placed on suspended leave for personal matters:
Louis Fite DB

"Everyday the decisions get harder, all of these guys can play, we may even see some of them down the road," said offensive assistant, Ruben Thompson.
