2010 Season Begins For Patriots

It's the first Monday in August, and while others were still sleeping or getting ready for work, 35 young men from Christ Preparatory Academy took the field at 6:30 a.m. to begin anew the annual ritual that is two-a-day football practices. As dawn broke in south Kansas City, Coach David Wallace and his staff of Jay Geeding, Mark Geeding, Tim Hammack and Darrell Wallace greeted the eager Patriots with a variety of conditioning and agility drills at the Red Bridge Baptist Church practice field.

The Patriot squad will conduct workouts Monday through Friday this week at 6:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at Red Bridge. The first week's activities culminate in the annual Patriot Day on Saturday, August 7. Patriot Day features the team's first significant contact and is capped off by a cookout and fellowship time for the team and its families.

Stay tuned this week as we attempt to keep you abreast of the team's progress. Some more photos of today's practice are posted below.  CPA begins competition Saturday, September 4th at Shawnee Mission North field as Sunrise Christian Academy of Wichita visits the Patriots for a 7:00 p.m. contest.
