Approximately 30 Christ Prep Patriot football players hit the Red Bridge Baptist Church field at 6:30 a.m. this morning as the team begain the 2011 campaign with its first two-a-day workout. The morning's practice was primarily devoted to conditioning, as the team participated in various station drills, with a brief introduction to offensive strategy.
A highlight of the practice for the CPA squad was the opportunity to hear from one of the team's former stars--Josh Burton. Josh, a 2010 graduate who is currently playing at Highland (Kans.) Community college, addressed the team at the end of the morning practice. He shared a favorite verse from the book of Deuteronomy which he credited with helping him deal with fear during his high school football career. Josh also encouraged the team to simply enjoy the game of football.
