Warriors put on the pads

The White County Warriors hosted a two-day padded camp this week, competing against Oconee County, Fannin County, East Hall and Jackson County on the new turf field at Warrior Stadium. WCHS running back Ryan Fowler, above, looks for the some running room during one of the camp sessions Tuesday morning against Oconee County. The padded camp comes during the final week of the summer schedule as the Warriors and the rest of the teams around the state will begin GHSA-mandated acclimation practices next week. Full contact practices begins on Aug. 1, with the Warriors slated to take on East Forsyth in a pre-season scrimmage Aug. 12 in Cleveland. (Photo/Mark Turner)
