Football Kicks Off Final Week of Spring Practice

WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point football team began its final week of spring practice at Howze Field under overcast conditions on Tuesday afternoon. The Black Knights worked out in shells during the 12th practice session of the spring.

Practice included various drills, including work in position groups and game-like scenarios.

The end of practice featured small-group sessions that were broken down by position before the workout finished with a fourth quarter drill that simulated late-game situations.

Head coach Jeff Monken selected 10 honorary captains for the Black-Gold Spring Game late last week.
