The morning practice began with rain falling on the practice field. After position drills and kickoff work the team participated in a 6-on-7 pass skeleton. From the 10-yard line, freshman Zach Barnard completed a scoring pass to Eric Seals. Junior Ryne Salyer also had a scoring toss, hitting fullback Zach Knight in the back of the end zone.
In 11-on-11 play, Salyer completed a 50-yard touchdown pass to DeAngelo Nelson.
The early session ended with point-after and field goal work.
“It's been long, it's been hard, but it's been good for us,” said senior running back Dante Woods. “This made us physically and mentally tougher and we grew more together as a family. Two-a-days are never easy but that's what it takes to win.”
The afternoon practice lasted for less than an hour and a half. After working on kickoffs, the team went into 6-on-7 pass skeleton work. Salyer completed a 20-yard pass to Jonathan Eiland. Freshman Chris Franklin made a 45-yard completion.
In 11-on-11 scrimmage, junior Koji Farrington intercepted a pass.
Salyer had two touchdown throws from the 10 yard line. The first went to freshman Charlie Jordan. The second scoring toss found Rod Harper in the corner.
“The freshmen have developed tremendously,” Woods said. “Many have been thrown into key roles and have made immediate impacts.”
