June is a very busy month at DHS: graduation, finals, state
playoffs and the start of Spring Football. With the start under a week away,
the Blue Wave Football team looks to get an early start to building off of the
unexpected success from last season.
The state of Connecticut offers two options to high school
football teams: they either can have 10 days of spring practice, or they can
start their August practices a week earlier than usual. Coach Rob Trifone sees the
former as the better option, subsequently allowing the team the perk of the
annual Blue-White Game.
The basis of this 10-day practice period is to get players
back into form before summer weightlifting and camps, while also preparing them
for what is to come in the upcoming season. It all ends with the annual
Blue-White Game, where players get there first feel for full contact since the
season ended, and also gives coaches an idea of who goes where on the field.
The practices begin on Saturday, June 7th and continue all the way to Friday, June 20th when the team plays against each other in the Blue-White Game at 5pm.
