Due to scheduling problems

Friday, the Gurdon Go-Devil line-

man camp has been reschedule to

take place from 8 until 11 a.m. on

Monday, June 10 at the Go-Devil

practice field.

Head Gurdon Football Coach

Kyle Jackson said his team will

also participate in a football camp

on the Henderson State University

(HSU) field from 9:15 a.m. until

noon on Thursday, June 13.

Coach Jackson said, “Glen

Rose, Murfreesboro and Bismarck

will also participate in that football

camp. You are welcome to come

check out the teams.”

The coach said Gurdon will be

in the traditional 2A competition

again this fall. Last season, the

Go-Devils finished 9-3 overall and

6-1 in the conference. Hazen beat

Gurdon in the second round of the

play-offs and ended up state run-

ner-up.

This year’s Go-Devil football

coaching staff will be: Kyle

Jackson, new soccer coach Steven

Love, Cody Fortner, David Davis,

Brannon Hatley and Austen

Halliday.

Coach Jackson said the Go-

Devil team will get a three-week

break after the June 13 HSU camp.

Weight lifting and running will

resume on July 8 and traditional

fall practice will start on Monday,

August 5.

Just before that, there will be

a 6th annual 6:30 p.m. Thursday,

August 1 football season kickoff

dinner at the GHS cafeteria. The

tentative speaker will be former

Razorback player David Bazzel.

Go-Devil players in grades 10-12

will do the dinner serving and

clean-up plus be involved with the

traditional all-night practice after

the event.

Due to heat, there will be no

two a day practices, with some

August practices beginning at 7:30

a.m. and others starting at 3:30

p.m., depending on teacher orien-

tation schedules. School starts this

next year on Tuesday, Aug. 13.
