The Trousdale County High School football team concluded its Spring Practice on May 16 with a scrimmage against Westmoreland on the Creek Bank.
鈥淚 was pleased with the physicality I saw in the scrimmage,鈥 TCHS Coach Kyle Gregory said. 鈥淭hey are always going to be a tough, hard nosed team and we competed with them! The main thing I took away from the scrimmage is that everything I saw on film is fixable.鈥
Coach Gregory and his staff worked with 30 players during the Spring and will add 11 rising freshmen this Summer.
鈥淥ur main goal as a staff this Spring was to focus on the fundamentals and improve the basics of blocking and tackling! I think through the course of the Spring we can definitely say we got better at those two things! We still have a long way to go, but we have seen drastic growth.鈥
The Yellow Jackets will be taking part in some 鈥7 on 7鈥 events with the first on July 9 at Westmoreland.
The annual Tobacco Bowl Jamboree is set for Aug. 15 with DeKalb County, Friendship Christian, Clay County and Trousdale County ready to compete. Coach Gregory is looking to add a couple more teams to the schedule.
The Jackets will open their season on Aug. 22 with a trip to Friendship Christian.
The coaching staff will also be having a fundraising golf tournament at 8 a.m.,Friday, June 13, at Country Hills Golf Course in Hendersonville. For more information, contact Coach Gregory at 615-374-5378, kylegregory@tcschools.org or Coach Brandon Eden at 615-418-7148, brandoneden@tcschools.org.
