Escambia Academy is ready for fall camp.

The Cougars will soon end summer workouts for 2019, and fully transition to practicing for the upcoming season. Fall camp begins Aug. 5.

Head football coach Hugh Fountain said it’s been a good summer for the boys.

“We’ve had very good participation,” he said. “I’ve been really excited about the majority of the guys because they have done exactly what we wanted them to do.

“We’ve shown improvements over the summer,” he said. “In the spring, we weren’t pleased with what we saw. But, this summer we saw a great effort of work”
Fountain said high school kids, junior and youth football players have participated in summer workouts this year.

“They work really hard,” he said. “We’re in really good condition. It’s been a hot summer.”
