While the Demon football team got down to the business of practice Monday, they attracted a fair share of attention before Fall Sports Media Day on Thursday.
Back at Turpin Stadium for the second time in 14 hours was sports director Mike Dirmann of KSLA-TV in Shreveport. After doing interviews Sunday evening as the Demons devoured their jambalaya dinner, Dirmann was back to get some practice footage to use behind the interviews.
Coming in on his first day after a family vacation to Estes Park, Col., was KTBS-TV sports director Tim Fletcher, who cruised down I-49 from Shreveport as soon as his hour-long 8 a.m. radio call-in show wrapped up. Fletcher interviewed junior safety Wesley Eckles of Mansfield and senior receiver Adam Varnado of Big Sandy, Texas, along with head coach Scott Stoker.
He got some practice footage of the second group's early workouts, which wasn't the prime cut. All of the Demons' newcomers were among the 40-plus players in that 10 a.m. session, and the ball hit the ground more in the first half-hour than it did in the nearly two-hour practice preceding it.
Both KSLA and KTBS will be back Thursday for media day. Between now and then, they'll have plenty of coverage of Demon football. If you're not in the viewing area, you can visit their websites to watch.
