Moran athletes get early start

By Kathy Thomson

A dozen Moran high school and junior high boys and seven or eight girls are participating in summer strength and conditioning practices at MISD.

The athletes have been supervised by Moran athletic director John Hughes and coaches Matthew Hise, Jo Hise, Robert Londerholm, and Phillip Huskey. 

“We have had a good group of kids who have spent the time to make themselves better,” said Hughes. “All of their hard work will pay off when two-a-days begin.”

The athletes are scheduled to take a week-long break over the Fourth of July holiday. 

“The break will let them relax and get rejuvenated for the second half of workouts,” Hughes said.

Bulldog coaches are anticipating a total of 12 football players this year.

“That includes both junior high and high school,” said Londerholm. “Coach Hughes is hopeful that we will be able to practice six on six.”
