White and Blue battle in spring scrimmage
The Burke County High School football team played its inter-squad scrimmage Friday night. The game pit the Blue against the White, with an effort by head football coach Eric Parker to evenly distribute the talent between the two teams. Every Bear saw some action on the offense and defense. The White team won the contest after scoring three touchdowns on the boys in Blue. "We went out and had a ball. There were a lot of areas that I was really pleased with, and obviously there were a lot of areas that we need to work on," Coach Parker said. "Overall, I think the fact that they were hustling and flying around to try and make plays was really exciting." Coach Parker added that the spaghetti supper fundraiser held before the game did "very well." The proceeds will help the Bears fund football camp this summer. The football team will begin summer workouts June 4.
