Football Completes First Two-A-Day Practices

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-The Campbell University football team completed its first two-a-day session Monday, August 11 under pleasant low humidity temperatures. The morning session lasted a little over two hours and was held at CU Football Stadium, while the evening practice allowed the team to work on the Campbell Football Grass Practice Field for just over two hours.

Campbell's sixth evening practice of the season began with the normal field goal drills before the usual individual position drills. Within the position drills the offensive and defensive lines both worked with the blocking sled for the first time. The team then worked on both onside kicking and recovery before the 7-on-7 running drills, which pitted the offensive line and defensive line against each other in strictly running situations. A stint of pass skeleton followed highlighted by long pass completion from Matt Vollono to Josh Owens. The defense also had its moments including a big stop from Freddie Shine. The team finished the evening with the goal line offense and defense competing against each other.

"Overall today was a solid day of practice," Head coach Dale Steele explained. "I was very pleased with the way we came out and competing in the morning. I thought that was one of the best practices we've had this season. The day of rest allowed the team to come out fresh and ready to play. In the evening we came out a little slow, but the important thing is we continued competing and finished the day strong."

Campbell has a single full-pads session on Tuesday starting at 5:15 p.m. at Campbell Football Grass Practice Field.
