Football practice is here across the state of Oklahoma, as several area teams will likely start their action this morning.

At Bartlesville High, the Bruins will have their first practice this evening at Custer Stadium. This will be the first official practice for first-year head coach Harry Wright. It has been a long offseason, about seven months, since Wright took the job early this year.

Athletic and Activities Director Thad Dilbeck says the program is ready for practice after an impressive summer.

Bartlesville will return in the neighborhood of 15-20 starters off a team that went 2-8 a year ago. BHS will hold evening practices the first three days until school begins on Thursday. There will be a special practice on Friday evening with some kind of intersquad event, followed by regular practice the week of August 15, before the Bruins first scrimmage on August 19 against Ponca City.

The Bruins will be young again this fall, but many of the sophomores and juniors in this year’s starting lineup have a year of varsity starts under their belt. Dilbeck says that experience should pay off.

Bartlesville will open its season at Claremore on Friday, Sept. 2. We will have reports from BHS practice and head coach Harry Wright this week, and we will carry Bruin football this fall on KWON and KWONTV.com.
