The 2010 football season is officially underway, which means teams all over the state have started two-a-days.
On Monday, I made stops at a couple of camps to see how the football players at Lorain High and Clearview felt about getting back on the gridiron.
My first stop was at George Daniel Field, where I spoke Lorain High Titan seniors Tevvin Jones and Amon Willis about coach Todd Auvil's three-a-days.
Jones, who plays running back and corner back, said he made sure.
"I was used to doing two-a-days, so this whole new three-a-days thing is new to me," Jones said. "We get breaks, so it's not that bad."
Jones said he trys to stay activate and hydrated during the team's break.
Willis, who plays defensive end, said he thinks having three-a-days will be good for the team. Willis added that the workouts are going to get tougher, but said he's ready for it.
"It's all a mental thing," Willis said. "You can't let the heat get to your head. If your mind stays strong then you'll stay strong."
My next stop was to Tom Hoch Field in Sheffield Township, where I talked to Clearview Clipper seniors Cody Kaya, Davon Daniels and Tyler Mielcarek.
Kaya, who plays linebacker, said he liked what he saw from the team on the first day.
"Our team is looking pretty good, we're all a little tired but we'll get into shape," Kaya said. "It's fun to look forward to this because football officially starts today."
Daniels, who plans to compete for the quarterback position and play linebacker, said he felt pretty good after the team's first two-a-day.
"I don't think there anything really difficult for me," Daniels said. "I love it, so I don't sweat anything.
"I just don't want to over-sleep and show up late because coach Collier will run me."

ROCKY RIVER - The Clearview Clippers used a two-out rally in the top of the fifth inning on Wednesday to beat Lutheran West 8-7.

The win clinched the Clippers (16-8, 10-2) first-ever Patriot Athletic Conference - Stripes Division title.

It also adds to the accomplishments from the boys athletic program.

The Clippers made it a clean sweep in the major sports for the 2009-10 season.

They won the PAC title in football, basketball and now baseball.

That's a pretty impressive accomplishment for any school at any level of competition. So congratulations to all the players and coaches at Clearview High School.

They should be proud of themselves, and their fans should be very proud of them too.
