More Wet Weather
The Hurricanes battled the weather yet again on Thursday, with storms in the area delaying the start of practice by about a half hour. When the rain and lightning finally cleared at about 7:30 a.m., the field was left in damp but decent condition for the practice. This year’s camp has been one of the wettest in recent memory on Greentree.
More Scout Team Work
The `Canes continued their scout team work for the second straight day, in addition to working 1’s vs. 1’s and 2’s vs. 2’s later in the session. Special teams was another point of emphasis yet again, with the team working through punt drills at the end of the session.

Break Time
