Week 7 Pre-Season

We had a fantastic intra squad scrimmage Saturday.  We finished with a gutsy 4x100 relay after the team was exhausted from the morning events.  We are proud of the way you finished.  We only have 41 practices until the last chance to qualify for state and 11 weeks until state, 10 weeks until the season is over for 95% of us. You need to be in early season conditioning this week.  We have very few opportunities to qualify for state, you must be ready when the opportunity if given to you.
