Now the work shifts behind the scenes for the Calhoun High School football team.
The spring workouts are done and the first of two GHSA-mandatory dead periods where teams and coaches can’t gather and practice/workout takes place next week when the Calhoun coaches and players put on the annual Calhoun football camp, starting Monday morning at Phil Reeve Stadium.
