The Athens Hornets have started their second week of practice and are preparing for their first scrimmage of the season.

The Hornets are scheduled to travel to Kaufman Friday morning to face the Lions in the first scrimmage of 2021. The JV and freshman are scheduled to start at 8 a.m. with the varsity following immediately afterward.

In today's podcast, Coach Zac Harrell said scrimmages aren't really something you win or lose.

"It's really an evaluation process for us," he said. "We're trying to see who, when you play somebody else, can play at a high level."

Coach Harrell will be keeping an eye on is the physicality in the trenches.

"One thing I am really looking at is to see the aggression and how physical our kids are up front," he said.

Also in the podcast:

  • Coach Harrell talks about the first week of practice.

  • He describes the pace of practice and how it is planned to keep everyone moving.

  • He talks about a new team motto that joins SWARM. The new motto is, "We Are All That We Need."
