GC holds Midnight Madness
By Junious Smith III
SNOW HILL โ Midnight Madness was alive and well at Greene Central Friday.
The Rams held their late-night practice as a way to not only prepare for scrimmages next week, but introduce the team to their fans. Greene Central will travel to Williamston Riverside for a scrimmage Tuesday, followed by one Friday against Tarboro.
Rams coach Jay Wilson said the team held a practice in the evening before a โMeet The Ramsโ session for the general public and going until nearly 1 a.m.
โIn the midnight practice, we did about 30 plays for the varsity and 25 for JV,โ Wilson said. โWe had the chance to see a lot of kids perform and compete, and we saw a lot of good things.โ
Cole Dawson said camaraderie hasnโt been an issue heading into the season.
โWeโve got a lot of chemistry and I enjoy playing with my teammates,โ Dawson said. โWeโre working on our execution, but this was a good practice.โ
Teammate Jeremy Murray said Midnight Madness was definitely helpful
โThis practice was great heading into our scrimmages with Riverside and Tarboro,โ Murray said. โWeโre ready to get out there and play.โ
Wilson said the first phase is complete heading into the scrimmages and while he has high expectations, heโs been happy with the teamโs efforts.
โI tell the guys Iโm never going to be satisfied unless we win the last game of the season in December, but Iโm pleasantly surprised with where we are, what weโre doing and how weโre looking in a lot of different areas,โ Wilson said.
