When the team buses arrived back to McKale after practice, we had the player's travel bags in front of their lockers with a list taped to their locker that told them everything they need to pack, and what we would pack with us for them while they are at Fort Huachuca. Of course, the managers will double check their drafted players to make sure they (the players) packed properly. We will load up in the morning and take off around noon for Fort Huachuca.
Team buses leave each morning at 5:45am for Salpoint High School. This morning was our last practice over there for this years training camp.
