Thursday marked the first day of practice in pads for the Redskin football team. Rain, thunder and lightning only cooled things off for the hard-working team. The one-and-a-half hour session saw both one-on-one contact and some team contact. Coach Ron Lewis said he is "trying to see who wants to get in there and hit," in order to step into many of the open positions on the team for the fall. Look for a full BCHS football preview in Wednesday’s paper.
