EDWARDSVILLE - Edwardsville High School’s football team continues to work hard in preparation for the upcoming 2017 season.
Monday night, the Tigers participated in a series of 7 on 7 contests at Edwardsville High School. Highland, Cahokia and Gateway Tech all took part in the 7 on 7 action.
Norman Harris stood out for the Tigers defensively, Martin said and was a definite positive on the night. Receiver Lavontas Hairston was another the coach thought stood out and has continued to improve all summer.
The Tigers have another 7 on 7 at 7 p.m. this upcoming Monday and Martin said he hopes to continue to fine tune his offensive and defensive units in sync.
“Some teams are more built for 7 on 7,” Martin said. “The challenges we face in 7 on 7s are the same for everybody.”
He stressed the importance of 7 on 7 practices is to see strengths and weaknesses in the passing game and defend against the pass. He hopes to see an even stronger performance from his group the next Monday.
