Head Coach, Irving Strickland use Tuesday practice to teach and not pop pads. There was lots of fundamentals and walking and talking during the time I was there. The offense went through various formations and play installation. While the defense worked on defensive position fundamentals during offensive priority.

DIFFERENT
2014 ATH, Kevin Wilson is making the transition to QB competing with two other players for the starting job. Wilson has been a prospect picking up steam as a safety the last two seasons, but will now compete for the started QB position.

YOUNG KIDS TO LOOK OUT FOR
Justin Andrews, DT 2016
Marquis Zimmerman, slot 2016
Gilrado Mata, K 2015
Mark Rose, FS 2016

UNDER THE RADAR
Anthony Ware, 2014 5-11/195 LBS – Will be one of the best RBs in Polk County this year which has some good ones.  Love his size, oh and he is a 4.0 GPA student. Very explosive on his first step and has power to run over defenders.
