CDO’s Rocker will miss prep opener

Stevie Rocker has dealt with injuries in both his varsity seasons

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - One of Southern Arizona’s best football players won’t be on the field when the season starts this week.

Canyon del Oro junior running back Stevie Rocker suffered a leg injury Wednesday night in a scrimmage against Walden Grove.

Dorados head coach Dusty Peace says Rocker will miss CDO’s season opener Thursday night against Flowing Wells.

Rocker had a fabulous initial varsity season as a sophomore in 2018 rushing for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns. This despite missing one full game and almost all another game due to injury.
