Pirates getting ready for new season
A day after conducting its initial scrimmage of fall camp, the East Carolina football team returned to Hight Field at the Cliff Moore Practice Complex Sunday afternoon for a 75-minute workout in helmets and shorts.
Following early morning meetings, which included film evaluation of Saturday’s contest, the Pirates conducted a one-hour walk-through before breaking for lunch. After treatments and another round of individual meetings, they hit the field for its 13th practice of camp.
The team will move out of the camp dorms early Monday morning before returning for a single full-pad practice in the afternoon.
