Coach Doug Dotson’s Football Camp

CENTRAL — Central football Coach Doug Dotson’s 1st Football Camp drew 225 athletes to the Central High practice field last week.

For three nights, Central High varsity coaches and a host of college and professional athletes instructed the students, age six through the 9th grade.

At a cost of only $20, the camp was one of the best deals of the summer for Central parents.

This week Coach Dotson praised NFL star Todd McClure of the Atlanta Falcons, a Central High graduate, Mikie Mahtook of LSU baseball, and the other coaches for their services.

Coach Dotson said he was also pleased at the participation of youth league coaches.  “Our students will get the same coaching from an early age, right through high school.”

The participation of a dozen present or former college players, all from Central, demonstrated that a young man’s dream of playing college football can definitely become a reality in Central.  “This community supports Wildcat football.  Friday nights at the Cathouse are the best time of the year.  And it’s only going to get better,” Dotson said.
