Spring practice is winding down this week for the Banks County football program as the Leopards get ready for the start of summer training in a few weeks.

Friday night, the Leopards cap the spring practice session with a scrimmage for the middle school and high school teams.

The BCMS players start at 6:30 p.m. with the varsity scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

Fans are welcome to patron Sonic before or after the game as the restaurant is helping promote the Leopards with a scrimmage night from 5-9 p.m.

Entrance fee to the games will be in the way of a monetary donation, or by one of the following items per person, being accepted at the gate: packs of DVD-R discs for filming the games, bottles of liquid laundry detergent for cleaning the uniforms, boxed packs of Lance crackers for the players after the games, case of bottled water or a bag of hard candy (no meltables or gum).

Friday night’s scrimmage will be the tip of the iceberg for what the gridiron Leopards will bring to the field in later summer scrimmages and in the fall.

Banks County’s Lady Leopards completed their track season Saturday with a trip to the girl’s 8-AA region meet at East Jackson.

While this season has been a rebuilding year for the Banks County track team, the Lady Leopards did earn recognition as the team’s leading runner, Maggie McCoy, earned third in the 400m run.

McCoy shaved one second and 20 hundredths off her preliminary time, finishing the scoring race in 1:03.06. First place in the even went to an Elbert County runner, finishing at 1:02.06.
