On day three of the Mason County Royals' spring football practice the focus on offense was the passing games. The defense worked on fundamentals, reads and techniques. The special teams did "Perfect 10," an open field tackling drill.
In his daily e-mail update, coach David Buchanan said the team could have quite a bit of depth at several positions including running back, offensive line, defensive line and linebacker. He said Wednesday's practice included a talk about competition for positions.
"That is tough for kids and parents to deal with at times," Buchanan said in the e-mail message. "Right now, it is very competitive. The starter at one spot this week, may not be there the next week, or August, or the first game, or even in November."
" It is a tough transition to go from rec league type settings to something that is highly competitive and very much results-oriented. If kids can fight through the competitive part of this, they emerge as much better players, and tougher people. But, it is a tough thing to go through. I can relate to it because I was one of those guys that had to fight to even step on the field. It is tough- but in the long run it is an experience that makes you stronger, and appreciate what you earned."
