Patriot Day a Success

The annual Christ Prep “Patriot Day” was held today at Red Bridge Baptist Church and by all indications the day was a great success. The CPA football team got to show off in front of a large crowd of parents and supporters during a morning scrimmage and contact drills during the event, which each year marks the culmination of two-a-day workouts.

Besides scrimmaging in front of the crowd, the players got to participate in the somewhat dreaded “Oklahoma Drill,” a running/blocking/tackling drill designed to improve players’ contact skills. The drill was performed “up close and personal” in front of the crowd.

The day’s practice concluded with introductions of each of the squad members and the 2010 Captains (more on this later). The practice was followed by a cookout at the Red Bridge Pavillion. The cookout afforded the CPA football families an opportunity to get to know one another better and certainly generated some excitement for the upcoming season.
