The July high school football scrimmage season is in full swing and Clinton High School got its competitive season going this week.

There's a lot to do this month getting ready for the late-August kick-off of the high school football season. Coach Ron Bass has a pretty inexperienced team this year, and on top of that, he is installing a lot of new things with his kids.

On top of doing a lot of teaching of new schemes, Coach Bass says they are also trying to coach up a very young and inexperienced group.

While 7-on-7 competitions are passing-based competitions and Clinton will be a run-first team, Coach Bass believes there's a lot to learn from the experience.

The Maroons opened up the competitive 7-on-7 schedule hosting Lincoln on Monday. They hosted Tri-Valley for an early 11-on-11 competition on Tuesday morning.

Clinton will participate in another 7-on-7 next week at Monticello.

The Maroons host Central A&M to open the football season on Aug. 29.
