Blade Reports on First Practice

The Blade has this report from practice number one....the main article is the usual blah blah you get. No one is going to say how much the team sucked in their first practice. I would wager there is precious little variance in what is said from the best program to the worst.

There was some news, too, as cited below.

SOUTHVIEW GRADS ABSENT: Southview graduates Alex Pidcock and Shaun Joplin, who led the Cougars to a 15-0 record and the Division II state championship last fall, were not among the 100-plus student-athletes who practiced yesterday.

Pidcock, who announced during the spring he would attend BG as a preferred walk-on, recently informed the coaching staff he was not interested in playing football.
Joplin, who also announced during the spring he would attend BGSU this fall, has spent part of the summer working on becoming academically eligible to participate in football this season.
No word has been announced on his academic status.
