The Beaufort High School Eagles football team is in their final week of Spring football practice, with the final day Thursday, May 23. But that doesn’t mean the coaching staff is turning them loose for the summer.
Head Coach Bryce Lybrand said as soon school is out, he and his coaches will still have his boys and “run them and lift them” four days a week to help keep them in shape and out of trouble. “Spring practice gives us an idea as to who is going to be able to help us next season,” he said during practice Monday afternoon at Eagles Stadium. “There we’ll be a lot of teaching going on as we make our way through Spring and into Summer and see who is ready by the time the season kicks off” in August he said.
Lybrand said there will be a few changes the kids will have to learn during Spring practice sessions, But he added most of the players (about 50) already know what to expect and use Spring practice to refine what they already know and get ready for Summer training.
“Spring practice shows us what we will look like in the Fall” he said. “We can come out here for Spring practice and on into the summer and get football work done every day”.
