Indians make solid gains in spring work

Body

Less than a month into his tenure as defensive coordinator, Michael Pruitt has already gotten a leg up on veteran coach and El Reno High School offensive play-caller Graham Snelding.

The two coached teams for the intrasquad scrimmage which capped off EHS’ spring drills, with Pruitt’s team edging out the other by a touchdown.

“Coach Pruitt and Coach Snelding sat down and tried to even out both teams as best as they could. It showed that our offense is ahead of our defense but the major part of that is we have a new defensive coordinator.
