Eye on the ball

The Hillsboro Burros, a post-season playoff team last year, held their first practice of the new season Tuesday night at midnight, a tradition with the Mark Rerick-coached HHS squad. Their second practice was later Wednesday morning, the start of two-a-days. The Burros’ first game is Tuesday, Aug. 26 at Thompson. The first home game is Friday, Aug. 29 against Central Valley.
