YSU football team begins spring drills

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State football coach Jon Heacock couldn’t have more happy with his team’s opening practice session of spring drills Wednesday afternoon at Stambaugh Stadium.

“I thought it was just a great day,” Heacock said. “The sun was shining. It was a good fall afternoon is what it was.

“The kids were excited and they put forth a good effort with a good attitude. There was a lot of learning and we’re still working through that process, but I thought effort and attitude were excellent.”

More than 90 players took part in the opening drills and Heacock and his staff spent time early just getting everyone lined up properly.
