Though it seems to be getting hotter by the week, that has not stopped the Yoe athletes from preparing for the start of a new sports season.
On Monday, over 150 Yoe athletes participated in the first day of summer workouts.
The Yoemen football team had 86 members out for the first day of practice. That number is expected to rise to around 90 once all physicals have been completed.
“The first day went really well,” said Yoemen head football coach and athletic director Tommy Brashear. “I was pleased with the kids attitudes. There was a lot of excitement for the the first day. I enjoyed their work ethic. If we keep working like that, then we ought to be pretty good.”
