Football teams get back to contact for first time since last season

After getting past the acclimation to start the official fall practice period, football teams finally got to fully suit up with full pads for the first time last week, bringing some extra energy to the practice field.

“It’s great to hit,” ECHS coach Jordan Cantrell said. “You can definitely see not having spring training though. From a head coach perspective, you can tell we’re behind. We have to get back in the groove. The kids are working hard but we have to get that physicality back and this helps with that.”
