A&M-Commerce Football Holds First Practice

First year head football coach Guy Morriss and the Texas A&M University-Commerce football team began its fall pre-season practice on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The Lions reported back to Commerce on Thursday for the first of two days filled with meetings before taking to the field on Saturday. A&M-Commerce started the day with a walk-thru at Memorial Stadium as players and coaches took what had been discussed in meetings and put on to the field. Before the walk thru would be complete, the 102 players that reported to camp were put through a conditioning test. After concluding the morning walk thru, the team gathered for live action that included special teams and the installation of plays and schemes on both sides of the ball. Two hours later, the first day of fall pre-season practice with on the field activities ended and a return to Berry Hall, where the team and the coaches are staying during pre-season camp. The day ended with a review of the walk thru and the live action as well as the continued installation of plays and strategies for the upcoming season.
