T.J. Jackson (94) and the Stanhope defensive line were one again a force during Monday’s OTAs at home.

The Stanhope Elmore football team has participated in multiple 7-on-7 camps throughout the summer but coach Brian Bradford admitted those events do not help his team prepare for the style of play it will use during the season. The Mustangs turned their focus to more football-focused activities this week when they hosted Lamar County and Park Crossing for a session of OTAs on Monday.

“This is more football related than 7-on-7,” Bradford said. “You actually get to see team concepts and real football. It’s good to see our guys get after it as a team because that’s what you need to do.”
