Training Camp Coming... (7/15/05)

Clinton - Much has happened since since last May when head coach Johnson resigned in lui of possible job security.

The new Clinton Maroons varsity football head coach will be Chris Hammer. Along with Hammer, the assistant coach, and linesmen's coach has all changed.

Former Maroons head coach, Josh Johnson has jumped ship to Argenta-Oreana to be the Assistant Head Coach there. It was a move that aggravated and mentally charged many Maroon football players. Oddly enough, the Maroons will get a chance to play on the same field as their old coach, as they will host the Argenta-Oreana Bombers in the 4th week of the regular season this year.

The Maroon football team and fan base will sure be pumped up for that game.

The Maroons will shift their defense to a 4-4 or "Stack" defense, which is primarily for stopping the outside runs and the short passes, something that killed the Maroon defense last year. The Maroons gave up an average of 32.2 points per game last year, worst in the Okaw Valley Conference.

Thankfully, the Maroons defense is showing signs of improvement. The offensive and defensive lines haven't suffered any big losses due to graduation and neither has the secondary, except for first team conference linebacker, J.W. Sheering and safety Ryland Dial.

Coach Hammer will definitely be looking to improve the Maroons defense, adding to the old cliché, "Offense wins games, defense wins championships."

But, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Training Camp for the Maroons will start Monday, July 18th and will continue through Friday, July 22nd. This all means that Maroon & Gold is only about a month away. Now as we sit in the dog days of summer, football season is right around the corner!
