Coaches quote: “We’re in our (fourth) full day of pads, and we’re bouncing around pretty good trying to fight the heat, but things are coming along pretty nicely for us so far. The seven-on-sevens we’ve had the past couple of weeks gave us some good competiton to go against, and the kids are getting better in shape.” – Michael Stroup, USJ head football coach
