Competition Fuels Jacks Fifth Practice
Five practices into the Lumberjacks 2012 spring practice schedule and there are some intense competitions occurring. Thursday’s practice encouraged some healthy competition amongst teammates as it featured release and fade drills with wide receives facing off against defensive backs, full and half 7 on 7 drills, 1 on 1 pass rush drills against offensive linemen and defensive lineman, and ultimately culminated with a fierce 20 minute team period that went completely live. Both sides of the ball stepped up to answer the call of competition by showing intensity and energy. With both sides working so hard, the half practice – half scrimmage this Saturday, April 7th, should be especially interesting. Check out the photos below and on the Flickr page to see more of the competitions occurring this spring!
