Play of the first day: Justin Aldredge, the converted linebacker playing tight end, made a full-extension diving snag about two feet off the ground of a John Hundley rocket early in a pass skeleton drill Monday morning. There were other nice catches during the morning and afternoon workouts, and I didn't see much of the afternoon session, but Aldredge's catch was a "gasp" moment. It was that good.
Team Gannett: Alexandria Town Talk sports editor Randy Benson attended the entire morning workout and will have a column in his paper and the Shreveport Times on Tuesday morning. Count on outstanding daily coverage this season from both Gannett papers from Benson, Times sportswriter Kelly Morris, and Times sports editor Scott Ferrell.
KSLA TV too: Sports director Mike Dirmann, truly one of the nice guys in our neighborhood, popped in for the last hour of the morning practice. He had interviews with Coach Bradley Dale Peveto and QB John Hundley Monday at 6 and has more to use later, including visits with Jace Prescott, Jeremy Jefferson and offensive coordinator Todd Cooley.
Did you notice?: Not Monday, but Sunday night in the NFL's Hall of Fame game -- Demon greats Demetrius Bell (right offensive tackle) and Terrence McGee (cornerback) started for Buffalo. Bell played the entire first half, staying in with the second team.
Still time: We have two correct answers so far for the Great Eight ID Challenge. Robert Gunn and Sonja Pezant are winners. We need one more. Look back through the blog and see if you can list the right names and schools.
