The Mason County Royals football team had its first full workout of spring practice Tuesday. The team worked on all three phases of the game. The special teams emphasis was punt protection.
Mason County basketball standout Darius Miller told Royals football coach David Buchanan that he would not be playing football next season. Miller was a wide receiver last season.
"Darius is a wonderful young man, and we support him in doing what he believes he needs to do," Buchanan said in an e-mail message. "Darius has been a pleasure to coach. He is a very good person that is very much respected by our staff."
"I have been real pleased with the attitude of our coaches on this one- they genuinely care about Darius and want him to do what he believes is right for him," Buchanan said. "Not one of our coaches has been negative about it in anyway. I am fortunate to have a staff of guys that not only knows the game of football and can really coach- they care about kids."
"We will miss (Darius) next year as both a person and player. But, we wish him the best. And, we still believe we have enough good football players to reach our goals as long as we do the things we must do."
