Gridders taking ‘Pride’ in workouts
By Rick Lomenick
Journal Sports Editor
The weight room at Per-
kins-Tryon High School is
quiet this week because of
the mandated Dead Week.
But rest assured, activities
will resume as Summer
Pride enters its final weeks
before the start of the new
school year.
Both the high schodl
and middle school football
players hit the weights and
conditioning drills hard
during June in preparation
for the upcoming season.
And head coach Bruce
Williams couldn’t be hap-
pier with what he’s seen
thus far.
“It has been awesome,”
Williams said. “Our atten—
dance had never been
better.”
Williams, who will be
entering his sixth year at the
help, credits an attendance
policy implemented last
year. It doesn’t provide for
much of a chance to make
up missed dates for unex—
cused absences. Since it has
been in effect, the kids have
stepped up their efforts to
be there.
“You either come to
Summer Pride and play or
you don’t,” he said, “and
not one kid missed out on
playing because of Summer
Pride.”
Williams added thus far,’
only one player missed a
workout because he over-
slept. Other than that, those
with excused absences were
because of family vaca-
tions, other summer sports
participations or at church
camp.

“I know that all of the
kids are accounted for,”
he said. ‘
Workouts have been
every Monday, Tuesday
and Thursday and will con—
tinue with that schedule
starting Monday. This is
a change of schedule from
years past when workouts
were four days a week.
Williams feels the kids
are respbnding well to this
schedule even though it is a
bit longer each day.
“Me personally it keeps

he said. The workouts will
resume for about five weeks
