Last week was the first week the Arkansas Activities Association allowed high school football teams in the state to begin preseason practice. Mountain Home was among the teams out on the gridiron, and they wrapped up the week on Friday with a scrimmage.
Bombers’ head coach Steve Ary says he saw some positives from the week, but there are some challenges to work through.
Listen:
Ary says he currently has about 57 athletes on the team. Mountain Home has eight returning starters on offense and the same on defense.
Ary adds before practice began, the Bombers were able to keep busy during the summer.
Listen:
Mountain Home will continue practicing to prepare for the benefit game with Jonesboro on Aug. 19 and the season opener against Nettleton the following week. The outing with Jonesboro will be part of First Security Bomberfest at Bomber Stadium. Activities begin at 4:30, and admission to Bomberfest is a can of vegetables or a pre-packaged serving of fruit to benefit the Backpack Food 4 Kids Program.
One of the events at Bomberfest will be the KTLO BBQ Cook-Off Challenge. The entry fee is $25, and Cook-off Challenge traveling trophies will be awarded for Taste and Spirit. The deadline to enter is Friday. Click here for the entry form.
