West Laurens hosted a padded camp last Wednesday morning in one of its final hurrahs of summer training before the official leadup to fall practices begins this week.

The Raiders, with ACE Charter, Mary Persons and Rutland as their guests at the SHU, took the field in partial gear for some controlled scrimmage reps featuring their full 11 on offense and defense.

Local squads are starting to put the pieces together as they continue the countdown to the 2024 season, kicking off for most Aug. 16, with preseason exhibitions as soon as Aug. 2.

On Monday, each began their five-day acclimation period, warming up for a first set of fully-padded practices July 29.
