IRONMAN COMPETITION
SEE COMPLETE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS (click here)For more than 16 years, Crittenden County football players have been starting the season with an individual strength, speed and agility competition called the Ironman.
Forty-three players competed in this year’s pre-season competition and senior Adam Beavers came out on top, edging out last year’s competition winner, junior Devon Nesbitt. The two finished first and second last year with their places reversed. Nesbitt is the reigning Class A First District Player of the Year.
The competition aims to encourage a well-rounded athlete, combining speed and strength to perfect a player. This year’s weightlifting figures were markedly higher than last summer’s, a tribute to work in the weightroom, says the coaching staff.
While the running and agilities part of the contest tends to favor the skilled-position players, those husky linemen play catchup in overall points by dominating in the weight room.
As much as anything, the competition is a way for the coaching staff to get players geared up for pre-season practice and to reward those who have worked hard during the offseason.
Rocket football season begins on Aug. 18 at Dover, Tenn., where Crittenden will play Stewart County for the first time ever. The boys will host Calloway County in a scrimmage on Aug. 11.
