The summer football camp and competition season is underway this week, and teams across central Illinois are taking advantage of the variety of opportunities to get better as the fall football season approaches in August.

At the Monticello 7 on 7 competition Wednesday night, Clinton football coach Ron Bass was pleased with what he saw from his young team. While the competition was stiff, he felt his kids showed a lot of fight.

Coach Bass is using the summer competition season to teach this young team the game and the things they are looking to do on each side of the ball.

For the remainder of the summer practice season, Coach Bass and his staff are dialing in on the fundamentals of football.

The Maroons continue the summer practice and competition season over the next several weeks.
