Seniors Sam Roberson, Kirk Smith and Latrell Walker are making the most of their opportunities to prepare before the night comes

Sam Roberson - Augusta Christian

At the beginning of Tuesday's 7 on 7 Passing League session at Grovetown, Bernard Grant, a staff member for the Greater Augusta Fellowship of Christian Athletes, used this Bible verse to explain to the seniors in attendance that they will need to make the most out of the next several months on the field:

John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

The night, of course, will come when those seniors have played their last snap of high school football. Two seniors who hope that day will come very late in the year next Fall, deep into the class 6A state playoffs, are Grovetown's Kirk Smith and Latrell Walker. Both players were key members of last season's region championship squad, and both took full advantage of the opportunity to get better Tuesday, playing on both sides of the ball, catching touchdown passes and intercepting opponents' throws along the way.



Another senior who has big plans, Augusta Christian quarterback Sam Roberson, was the star of the evening. Roberson told me afterwards to check his Lions out come Fall because they are aiming for a state playoff spot. After watching him throw touchdown passes on every drive I saw against Grovetown, Westside and Josey, I will definitely mark my calendar so I can see the regulation version of Augusta Christian's football team this season.



Here are more clips from Tuesday's action, which include highlights of quarterbacks Kori Bryant (Grovetown), Quamere Gooch (Westside) and Kalil Alston (Josey).
