The Williston-Elko football team is working hard for the upcoming season.
As the hot days of August hit the State of South Carolina, the start of the high school football season begins. Each year is a new beginning for all teams, but new Williston-Elko head football coach Kenneth Lipsey is looking to bring back some of that success that the Blue Devils have had over the years.
Kenneth Lipsey is the new head football coach and athletic director at Williston-Elko High School.
Coach Lipsey was asked about getting ready for the upcoming season, and said, “The summer has gone extremely well. I am very pleased with the commitment level of the kids. We will dress 32 players this season. With scrimmages taking place, the players can finally hit on someone other than themselves. Scrimmages are good because you can get something on film to let the players see what we see as coaches. We hope that we can get better everyday and come together as a whole,” he said.
Coach Lipsey continued, “Getting through the non-conference portion of the schedule healthy will give us a great chance to be competitive once the season starts. Our goals this year will be just like they have been always at Williston, to be a tough hard-nosed football team that plays hard every snap of the football game. If we can do this, then we will be successful throughout the year.”
Coach Lipsey is no stranger to Williston-Elko football and the many teams he will face on the Blue Devils’ schedule. He previously was an assistant for the Devils. He is well thought of by other coaches in the area.
