Summer's over.
At least one high school football team will begin practice on July 31 with two more slated to start Aug. 4.
That's insane.
Then again, most teams have either been in passing camps, full pad camps or spending their summer in the weight room.
But the season is getting longer and more draining.
Forget the morning weight lifting sessions that start right after New Years Day.
Opening practice in pads the first week of August translates to an 18-week season of a team reaches the Central Coast Section finals.
That's too long.
