Confidence is vitally important to success in any sport, but especially football. When you’ve got 11 guys on the field at any given time, and each of them has to compete with the confidence that the guy to their left and to their right will back them up.
This offseason, Elmore County’s football team is working on building up that confidence, starting with 7-on-7 tournaments this summer. The Panthers attended the fourth annual Battle for the County 7-on-7 tournament last Friday, hosted by Wetumpka for all five public high schools in Elmore County.
