We do a lot of running, weight lifting, drills, and calisthentics. While we try to make them fun, exercises are a necessity. Head football coach Neal Estes added that adequate exercise results in speed and strength - both necessities for success.

The goal is a complete organization with no mental breakdown of any of the priorities. - By Rex DeI.oney l E NO-NAME DEFENSE - Charger defensive players bare down while awaiting the snap ofthe ball against Jacksonville.
