Week 11: The Final Week Is Here

It seems like we were just finishing up spring football and looking forward to the season ahead.

All the work that was put in during the off-season to get ready for 2022, and just like that, it comes to an end this week.

For the teams who qualify for the state playoffs, the dreams of reaching this point have been achieved – and of course for other programs – it's time to put the equipment away until late April when we start this process all over again.

With many camps, combines and 7-on-7 events to keep the pure football prospect occupied, the process of recruiting continues.
