Spring Is In The Air

Yesterday began the first day of what looks to be a very promising spring practice for the Roadrunners. Although the day was filled with rain and mud Coach Graham and company believe this spring could be the beginning of something special. "I was very impressed with our kids today," Graham said, with over 50 players out for spring. "We are going to keep things basic and continue to build on what we started last year. We have a lot of kids coming back who are young, but experienced on the field."

The Roadrunners will be returning many starters including All-State linebacker Devante Hawkins. Other household names include David Rucker, DJ Oggs, and Ravon Farris who made their impact felt in the 2008 season and will continue to build on things this spring.

AE is set to scrimmage Knox Central on May 11th and will host 6A Science Hill High School out of Johnson City May 14th. Spring Practice will conclude May 19th when the Roadrunners hold their annual Red and Blue game. Come out and support the Roadrunners as they prepare for and pursue a State Championship in the upcoming 2009 season.
