The Scotts Hill Lions football team has been hard at it the past few weeks. This team is braving the hot summer sun, just like many teams across west Tennessee are doing at this time of the year. With the humidity setting in and the hot summer months amongst us, conditions can be difficult for players. Not to mention, the unpredictable weather that we experience this way. Safety is the first and foremost concern of the coaching staff and they do everything in their power to keep the players safe as they begin to condition them into football shape for the upcoming season ahead.
