Getting fit to fight
Shoulder pads, helmets, pants, you name it, it was all part of the day as the
Warner Robins Recreation Department held its uniform fitting for football
teams. The season is set to kick off for good Sept. 12. Prior to that, there will
be a punt, pass and kick competition Sept. 9 and a jamboree for the younger
children Sept. 10.

“I’m not counting on it,”
Card said. “Besides, we’re
still going to have to exe
cute.”
A part of that execution,
he said, would be to involve
the pass more.
“We’ve been working hard
trying to get that to where
we could do that (throw) so
that they in turn can’t line

kept on the varsity team.
“I’m not sure how much
time she’s going to get to
play,” he said. “But she’s
one to watch. She’s going to
be good. We’re just going to
