DURHAM -- Mose Rison already was optimistic about his N.C. Central football team before he directed the Eagles' first open preseason practice. And after Tuesday's two-hour workout -- on a hot afternoon during which the Eagles were happy to see a few clouds -- the second-year head coach seemed even happier.
The enthusiasm seems contagious around a program that is coming off its fourth straight winning season. "I was talking to the coaches before last night's [9:30 p.m.] workout, and we thought the guys would probably show up a little early," said Rison, who has 90 players including 57 scholarship players in camp. "But at 8:40, the whole team was there. "The kids showed a whole lot of energy today. It was just outstanding. We've got a ways to go, but right now there are a lot of things we can build on."
