A handful of Red Bank High School football players donned the harnesses. Their task was to pull an Isuzu truck.
They tugged and pulled the vehicle across a finish line in the parking lot. Then another set of players tried to accomplish the feat in a few less seconds. Then another team of Lions did the same, and others followed them as well in the conditioning drill.
A fun competition among teammates helped the Lions have a little fun in summer workouts, build camaraderie and challenge each other in something other than sprints and lifts.
“We did relay races, truck pulls, tire-flips and other things to make it fun for them to compete,” coach Chad Grabowski said. “I’d give out T-shirts to winners and things like that.
The Lions (6-4) host Bledsoe County tonight in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs.
