LORMAN, Mississippi -- Today the Braves wrapped up week one of preseason camp playing their first scrimmage and hosting their annual media day. The Braves took the field this morning around 9:00 a.m. and were anxious to get after each other on the practice fields.The secondary showed why they were ranked No. 4 in the FCS Standings in pass defense when sophomore cornerback Anthony Williams, Jr. returned an interception for a touchdown in early in the scrimmage.
The offense scored their lone touchdown on a one-yard run by Arnold Walker.
“We did some good things this week as far as executing on both sides of the ball,” Head Coach Jay Hopson quoted. “Our quarterbacks are doing a decent job so far this week in their readings of the defense and I've also been pleased with the way our running backs have been performing in week one.”
All five quarterbacks saw action in the scrimmage and made some good plays in different situations.
“Defensively I've been pleased with our assignments but we still have to work on the little things,” Hopson said.” Linebakcers Damon Watkins and Will Thomas are getting plenty of reps with the first team. They study the game well and are some hard-hitting defensive players.
With one week of preseason camp in the books the Braves will have Sunday off and will resume practice on Monday as they continue to prepare for their home opener on August 31st vs. Edward Waters.
