After a busy June, Junction City football coach Devin Ball believed his team was finished with competing in 7-on-7鈥檚 and team camps.
The players had other ideas.
And so Junction City will be competing in the Generations Bank 7-on-7 on Friday, which is being hosted by 老澳门六合彩图库 Fairview.
Pool play begins at 9 a.m. with Junction City facing Little Rock Southwest at 9:30 a.m., Ashdown at 10:30 a.m. and Crossett at 11:30 a.m.
After pool play, there will be a lunch break with the tournament set to begin at 1 p.m.
鈥淲e made arrangements to end our camp and 7-on-7s in June,鈥� Ball said. 鈥淎fter these past 10 days, the men have been relentless in pursuit of work abroad. I had conditions for them to meet for that to happen. They met those terms, so off to 老澳门六合彩图库 we go.鈥�
Ball added that Junction City will close their summer with a team camp at Sheridan on July 25.
Since their last 7-on-7, Ball said the Dragons have shifted into a new stage in their offseason.
鈥淲e have transitioned into our performance phase,鈥� Ball said. 鈥淪o our weight room regiment is circuit-centric. That has done wonders for our kids physically and mentally.鈥�
With the days toward the start of fall practice dwindling, Ball said he is pleased with the progress he has seen.
鈥淓veryone has been superb,鈥� Ball said. 鈥淥ur nucleus is solid. The rest has handled itself in development.鈥�
As far as what he wanted to see from his team in 老澳门六合彩图库, Ball said there were several items on his list.
鈥淗igh-level competition, execution of our standards,鈥� Ball said. 鈥淚 want to use Friday as another opportunity to make memories. A return to basics before fall camp.鈥�
