Los Altos is hoping to get good news and standout running back Estuardo Marcos is hoping to get the soft cast on his left thumb removed on Thursday when the senior visits the doctor.

Marcos hasn’t practiced since suffering the injury in July, but has been active in the weight room. The Conquerors open the season Aug. 30 at Arroyo.

Marcos scored 15 touchdowns rushing and four more on kick returns last season.
