Football team competes in challenge camp

The Banks County High School football team recently traveled to Flowery Branch High School for a three-day challenge camp.

The players experienced valuable training time with coaches from all across the State of Georgia. This is one of only a handful of camps that the players get to wear pads and helmets and make contact during the sessions.

The training time consisted of morning drills on rotation in 15 minute increments where the team performed together to work on fundamentals of football. Later in the day, the teams got a chance to compete against other teams.

"We are out here to be as fundamental as possible and each coach is out here to teach that to these players," said Coach Philip Jones.
