It's been a productive 14 practices and all that remains is the annual Red and White Spring football game.
THE FORMAT: The team will be divided by offense (Red Squad) and defense (White Squad) and square off for a two-half scrimmage. The first half will be two 15-minute quarters followed by a 30-minute running clock for the second half. There will be a special scoring system devised to allow the defense to score points.
