Viking football hopefuls continued their resumed workouts Tues., July 18, after a no-contact period in early July that precluded training as a team.

LJHS head coach Tyler Roach spoke of the start of two-a-day workouts beginning Mon., July 31, in a conversation with a reporter on Mon., July 17. He noted that the annual team Big Bear camp would take place at the end of the first week of official practice, from Fri., Aug. 4, through the team's return to La Jolla Mon., Aug. 7.

Team position players took part in "indies"--independent drills--in workouts Tuesday, as quarterbacks threw to receivers, offensive linemen worked on blocking and other skills, and a punter went through his paces blasting kicks downfield during the early part of practice at 7:30 a.m. at Edwards Stadium.
