Patriots Endure Heat

The Christ Preparatory Academy football team returned to the practice field today for two more workouts in record high temperatures. The team continued its two-a-day routine at practices held at 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The evening practice concluded as the thermometer still topped 100 degreees.

The excessive heat did not deter the Patriots as they began learning their offensive schemes. Much of the practice was devoted to play-making for both the senior and junior high offensives.

The Patriots will continue two-a-days tomorrow. Wednesday's workouts will be the last in shorts and t-shirts as the team prepares to put on shells (helmets and shoulder pads) at Thursday's practice. Friday's practice will be the first in full gear.
