Are you ready for some football?

Two Smoky Mountain football players

Two Smoky Mountain football players go at each other in contact drills under the direction of assistant coach Josh Parris earlier this week. The Mustangs will have "practice-type" scrimmages at home against Tuscola at 6 p.m. Saturday and at Robbinsville at 6 p.m. Tuesday. They will have a "game-type" scrimmage at home Aug. 17 against West Henderson. "The players are trying real hard," said Coach Tim Hawkins, who is beginning his first season. "I'm pleased with the intensity level." - Herald photo by Carey Phillips
