DeKALB — The football team took the field Saturday at the Chessick Practice Center for its first practice under Head Coach Thomas Hammock and his coaching staff.
The practice was the first of spring training camp, which is scheduled to include 15 practices from late March to late April.
Hammock spoke at a news conference Wednesday and said this time of year is key for improving his players.
“This is a developmental program,” Hammock said. “We have to pride ourselves on developing players. We may not get the same type of kids some other programs get, but we can certainly get the same product if we develop them.
