He’s gold, Jerry, gold.
Or Golden, as it were.
Incoming Coupeville High School freshman QB Cade Golden has spent a chunk of his summer honing his gridiron skills, traveling around the country to football camps.
The most recent trip was to the University of Alabama, where head coach Nick Saban, the brains behind five national title-winning teams, patrolled the field as drills went on around him.
Now, Golden, who is still a month away from his first fall practice with the Wolves, has been tabbed to join other top gunslingers at Northwest 9, a five-day camp for QB’s.
Run by the Rough Diamonds Athletic Foundation, the event is set for July 30-Aug. 3 in Kirkland.
The camp is being offered on an invitation basis to 35 prep quarterbacks who have been plucked from Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Golden and his fellow competitors will face off in testing, positional drills, 1-on-1 and 7-on-7 events, with the top finishers being chosen as the inaugural “Northwest 9.”
