St. Mary Catholic Central (SMCC) opened its football training camp on August 10, aiming to capitalize on the speed of three members from its championship 400-meter relay team. Coach Adam Kipf acknowledged the team's smaller size, with only 22 juniors and seniors, after significant graduation losses. The Falcons will adapt to challenges including a lack of a home field, having lost Navarre Field earlier in the year.
