Twenty-three players reported for the first football practice. Four seniors, eleven juniors, six sophomores and two freshmen. Two days of practice are required before players can put on pads, so the first day was conditioning, fundamentals, and running through plays. The "County Fair" conditioning was changed a little, now the bear crawls are fifteen yards up the hill four times in a minute and flipping the tractor tire replaced 10 yard sprints.
The team has four starters back on offense and three on defense. The schedule stays the same as last year. The first game is Friday September 4 at 7:00 pm in Bancroft versus Omaha Concordia.
