First Day of Training

The 2010 season has officially begun with the first day of pre-season camp in the books.  34 players reported for tryouts and will compete to make the roster.  With only 14 players returning from last years team there are a lot of new faces out there.  We have two players who competed in our spring season and one returning from ACL surgery, but that still leaves 17 players getting their first taste of the college game.

Fitness will be a major focus of this pre-season as we hope to be one of the hardest working teams in the CAC this year.  There is a lot of talent in the CAC and because of are youth we hope to even the field a little by being one of the fittest teams out there. 

Tryouts will last for 3 days and will conclude with our scrimmage against Hagerstown CC this Saturday at 6:00 pm.  Former player and assistant coach Brandon Rethemeyer who is now the asst. coach at HCC has helped turn the program around and made HCC one of the better JUCO's in MD.  It should be a good evaluation game for us as HCC will have been in camp for almost two weeks and we'll be just getting started.

We will travel to Shepherd on Wednesday August 25th and conclude our pre-season scrimmages with the Alumni game on Saturday August 28th at 2:00 pm at Bobcat Stadium. 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone next Saturday...
