Escambia County tied Excel and competed well against J.U. Blacksher in a 7-on-7 at Flomaton High School last Tuesday.

Blue Devils head football coach Royce Young said the defense saw great improvement out on the gridiron during the tournament.

“Offensively, we struggled a little bit,” he said. “We’re still deciding who is going to be our quarterback.”

ECHS will be in preseason action on Thurs., Aug. 18, at home against Citronelle.

Kick off is at 7 p.m.
