Alpine High school football had their first practice this Monday, and new head coach and Athletics Director, Andy Smith, is setting strong expectations for both the teams and the individuals on them. As for the first practice, Coach Smith said, “The kids brought a lot of energy, the coaches too.” Even though a very high percentage of the players participated in the summer workouts, according to Smith, in the beginning practices the coaches slow everything down to instruct and lay the groundwork for good habits and better outcomes.
