Football practice has continued in the Mountain State and with Mingo County recently moving into a green-coated county, the Tug Valley Panthers are getting more and more prepped for the season while also trying to remain cautious due to COVID-19. Well, with COVID, we've definitely had to take a lot more precautions than we normally would. Just trying to really keep all these guys isolated and just trying to do everything we can to guarantee a season. That's what we work for in the off season to be able to play these ball games. And to be able to have the opportunity to do that, it's just, it's lifted these guys' spirits because there's so much uncertainty and to be able to go out and play. And again, I got a couple guys looking at scholarship offers, a chance to play college ball. So this is, this is a, you know, a make or break season for them. While the outlook for the season still has some uncertainty to it, the Panthers said they're excited to see the field. We're just trying to say positive, you know, all the coaching staff is just trying to, we're just trying to do everything and make as normal as we can, you know, just, we're getting ready to play and all that. Oh man, I mean, the certainty, it sucks right now, but we're just trying to, we're just trying to say positive through it all. And you know, this season means everything to me, you know, I've worked my whole life for football and basketball really, but I'm ready to play senior season and I'm excited. Tug Valley opens their season on September 4th on the road against Sherman. For more information on this and other stories, visit mountandashtopsports.com or visit our Facebook and Twitter pages.
