High school football practice begins this week

NFL and college football practice has begun, most kicking off last week. High schools will soon follow....Illinois and Kentucky are set to start later in the week.

The green flag waves for Missouri schools Monday August 9th. Cape Central hits the field Monday afternoon around 5:30.

I talked with Jackson head coach Van Hitt Sunday night and he tells me the Indians will go at nine and again at five but the expected excessive heat could affect the practice schedule.

Both Jackson and Cape Central are looking to put last season in the rear view mirror neither team enjoying much success in 2009. Jackson finished 1-9 last year their lone victory coming in the final week of the season against arch rival Cape Central. The loss kept the Tigers winless in 2009 (0-10).

Looking ahead Heartland Football Friday 2010 begins friday night August 20th
