Eagles open up football workouts

Preseason practice began Monday morning for the Pecos Eagles’ football team, with almost all of the expected varsity roster making it to the opening morning workout at Eagle Stadium.

“I think we had 36 of them, and on the JV I think we had 34, so we had 14 who didn’t show up on the JV we were expecting,” said Chris Henson, who begins his third season as Eagles’ head coach.

“Right now we’ve got about four spots open on the varsity, since we want to carry 40 kids, so we’re looking to move up s few JV kids who are busting their tails looking for those spots,” he added.

Pecos is trying to bounce back from last year’s 2-8 season, and return 27 players from that team. Henson said most of the players had done some workouts during the summer, though a few did get sick during the opening morning of conditioning drills.

“We only had two on the varsity who failed to get their lifts that they ended the season with, so we’re in pretty good shape right now,” he said.

The preseason workouts were changed up slightly this season. Incoming freshmen workout sessions have been moved to the evenings, while the sections each group is working on at the varsity and JV levels were switched up for this season.

“We changed things up for the JV to go through the offense, while the varsity did defense,” he said. “The JV got 100 times more reps than they normally because we were focusing on the varsity the other way. The coaches are happier and I think it’s going to help us in the future.”

“Going through the reps, they picked them up well from last year. There’s not as much standing around and more work you can get done,” he added.

Henson said other than a few players who changed positions from a year ago, most of the players are now familiar with the system.

“We’re three years into the program, so they’re jumping right into it. We don’t have to spend time going slowly learning the system, and get to concentrate on the smaller details,” he said.

Full-contact drills in pads will start on Friday for the Eagles. Pecos’ first scrimmage is on Aug. 16 against Seminole, while their regular season opener is Aug. 29 against Alpine.
