football: Is it ever too early?
So here we sit in late June. The summer has just started, the official beginning to the high school football season is still almost a solid two months away, and we as a staff are in the throes of winding down from the baseball season that just passed a few short weeks ago.
The reality is, however, that high school football in this state is already ramping up. There are camps going on. 7-on-7 competitions heating up. BYU is holding its non-padded football camp as we speak, and coaches are already talking about who are the favorites.
And it's not even July yet.
Currently, the talk in Class 5A centers around just how much talent will be on display this coming season. From Alta, to Bingham, to Cottonwood, to Davis, to Skyline, to Pleasant Grove, to Syracuse, to Riverton, every week is shaping up to be a war. From Algernen Brown, to Dallas Lloyd, to Tanner Banks, to Harvey Langi, there is plenty of star power.
So is it too early to start talking about it? We at the Tribune say no.
That's why we're starting our two-a-day series in the next few weeks. That's why we're blogging on this stuff weekly. We simply feel, just like college and the pros, that football is becoming its own monster in terms of coverage.
