Monday morning, the sun peered over the horizon here in the Cross Timbers region and athletes reported for practice.
“It went well, we had a lot of energy,” Bowie head football coach Dylan Stark said. “We were excited to get the year going. Everyone had a good attitude and it went smoothly.”
At the beginning, Stark said he made an introductory speech and players stretched. Jackrabbits were split by age into offensive and defensive groups.
During proceedings, Stark put the Jackrabbits through their paces in what’s called a “pursuit drill,” which is designed to help the Jackrabbits with conditioning.
Both Saint Jo head coach Chad Tallon and Forestburg head coach Wayne Tuckwell were very pleased practices from a conditioning standpoint.
“Last year for the first practice, we were out of shape,” Tallon said. “The kids worked really hard this summer and stayed in shape. We had a good practice. We have seven seniors and they all showed leadership.”
The seven senior Panthers helped newcomers know what plays were to be covered, and the correct spots they needed to be in. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.
