The Fort Hays State Tiger football team and head coach Chris Brown dodged the rain Saturday morning as they closed out the annual spring practices with their final Saturday scrimmage.
Brown said he thought the team had a good spring overall, but there are still some areas where they are looking for improvement.
“We’ve got to shake some things up for the secondary a little bit right now, find some guys that we can plug in some holes and make us better back there,” Brown said.
He emphasized the importance of commitment in the summer.
“They really need to make sure they get together this summer and do the seven on sevens, and make sure they're lifting, as a team and as a group and really putting the time and effort in in the film room together, you know, not just as one individual,” Brown said.
He said it will be up to the upperclassmen to get that buy-in.
“We need to make sure our starters and our backups are definitely here to make this thing run, summer is the biggest part of it, because you make some guys think it's time to take a break, time to take it easy,” Brown said. “But that's the most important part of it, because when fall camp rolls around, we need to be hitting all cylinders and getting ready to go.”
The Tigers open the season August 28 at home against Angelo State.
