Madison County completes its spring football session Friday with the annual Red and Gray game, ending two weeks of practice and evaluation.
Here’s a break down of the session as of Tuesday, nine days into the spring season:
Ahead or Behind schedule?: It’s hard to tell so for with head coach Randell Owens noting some good of the good and bad so far. “Right now I’ve got mixed emotions,” he said. “Some people I would like to see them get a little further ahead than where they are right now. And we’ve got some folks doing well. Compared to who we have to play against, I’m concerned.
Making Waves at practice: Owens said that T.J. McGuire has done some good things at defensive back while Kendrick Butler has made some good plays and improved at wide receiver. Bo Dalton is stepping up at center, showing improvement over last fall, according to the coach. “Those three have king of steeped up and done some things that we’re pleased with,” Owens said.
Taking advantage of the offseason: Owens noted that Montana Hoxit’s work since last season is evident as he has gotten stronger on the offensive line.
Disappointments: The evaluation of some players has been slowed due to some nagging injuries. Coaches were hoping to get a good read on Claude Johnson at linebacker, but he’s been hurt “with one thing or another,” according to Owens. Al Allen is also nursing a nagging injury while Ethan Scarborough sprained his ankle after some impressive early practices at defensive tackle.
Jockeying for positions: So are there any good battles going on for position up for grabs in the fall? “Pretty much everywhere,” Owens said. He noted that the contest between Cello Latimer and Stacy Mack for the fullback spot is really heating up. “That’s the premiere battle,” Owens said.
Spring time is a busy time: Owens pointed out some players have had other spring sports obligations. Specifically, he noted that Bracken Turner was filling baseball obligations. up until Friday while standout lineman Brent Russell won the region shot put title and has been excused from spring practice to prepare for today’s appearance at the state meet.
