OVERVIEW

It was the first full two practice day of this year’s training camp. The coaches ran the players through their paces for a two hour and 15 minute workout in the morning before running an hour and 15 minute afternoon practice.

 

The afternoon practice was played under 23-degree sunny skies with a 23 km/h northwest wind. 

 

PLAY OF THE DAY

Veteran receiver and Saskatoon native, Scott McHenry made a diving catch across the middle on a pass from quarterback Kevin Glenn during the teams period.

 

Later, first year defensive back, Junior Mertile jumped in front of a pass for a would be interception return touchdown to respond for the defence. 

 

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Yesterday we had those two practices, a lot of guys were frustrated because they set the standard high, we want to win the Grey Cup, but what they have to understand is that you don’t win the Grey Cup on day one. There’s a process to get there and once the guys went back we got the frustration out and we learned from those mistakes. Either you have a good rep or you have a rep that you learn from.” Head Coach Corey Chamblin
