In a normal year, Thanksgiving week is when the semi-state games are played.... and for some communities/schools, Thanksgiving day practice is an event. Former players that are in town to see their families stop by practice, the town is buzzing with excitement of the possibility that their kids will get to play for a state championship.
2006 was the first time that Johnson Central had practice on Thanksgiving day & Cov. Cath. was rolling in to Johnsonville on Black Friday for our first ever state semi-final game.... our little town was electric with excitement. Fast forward a few years and now having been to five straight state finals & winning two state championships, Thanksgiving day practice is still something our players, coaches, fans and community does not take for granted.
Cov. Cath. (3A - 2006)
Wayne County (4A - 2015, 2016, 2017)
Knox Central (4A - 2018)
Madisonville-North Hopkins (4A - 2019)
So let's hear it, how many teams across the state are going to have their first ever Thanksgiving day football practice?
