Patriots Back to Gridiron

Full Moon Rising...

After taking Tuesday off because of poor weather conditions and equipment checkout, the Christ Prep Patriots returned to the field Wednesday for two intense practice sessions. The morning workout focused on special teams while the nightcap appeared to be all about conditioning. After two rotations of "County Fair," the Patriots picked up where they left off Monday by running 32 "Dirty Thirties." (See photos below). By all accounts the team appeared to have improved its conditioning since Monday, however, as everyone appeared to have retain their afternoon snack:).

New challenges await tomorrow (Thursday) as the team dons the pads and runs its drills and sprints in full gear. Thursday's and Friday's practices will ready the team for the full-contact "Patriot Day" to be held Saturday at 9:00 a.m.
