Spring Prep Football Sweeps Across County
By Space Coast Daily // May 26, 2012
Final Opportunity Until Fall
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Up and down the Space Coast, high school football teams closed out spring practice with a flurry Friday night, trying to impress coaches and fans with inspired play heading into summer.
For many young players it was a chance to make an impression and for some upperclassmen, the annual spring games are an opportunity to step up to a new position or solidify their hold on one they had earned previously.
Coaches were given a chance to try out new offenses and develop new defensive schemes, while players also received valauble experience under game-like conditions.
Even cheerleaders and referees were on hand to put in some training time before the first games of the fall season begin in mid-August.
Here’s a rundown of Friday’s scoreboard and brief highlights from games involving Brevard teams:
SATELLITE 19, EAU GALLIE 0. (Scorpions defense prevents Commodores’ big plays to post shutout)
