 With football season fast approaching in the mountains, many teams are scrambling to catch up due to lost practices caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Shelby Valley Wildcats are one of those teams gearing up for a very different football season this year. I'm assuming everyone across the states in the same situation we're in, we're behind, just to be honest. But that being said, the kids are really bought into it. These kids want to play. I think the parents want to see them play. The coaches obviously want to coach. So they're kind of hungry for a sense of normalcy, something stable, something normal. So I think that's really providing that for all of us honestly right now. The Wildcats, like other teams, have had to make many adjustments on the field and in the weight room to make this season possible. We're only allowed two at a rack. We usually have everybody in the weight room. There's a very small amount of people in the weight room at all times. And out on the field, you know, we've usually been in full pass for about three weeks to a month now. And it's just, we just got them full, like we just got them shoulders this week and full pass next week. And it's just a lot different. While things may look different this year, the coaching staff at Shelby Valley remains hopeful. We're just excited to play. We're extremely excited to get to play this season. We're thankful that we've been blessed with an opportunity to play this season. How do we look? I will say this, we're not going to be the same Shelby Valley people have watched the past 20 years. That's as far as I'll go on that. They'll see when they watch us. Shelby Valley opens the season against Knot Central at home on September 11th. With Mountain Top Sports, I'm Cody Davis.
