Coach Andrew Hofer during the 2019 season.
WRMJ Sports Director Jim Taylor visited with Mercer County High School head football coach and athletic director Andrew Hofer Thursday morning. The two discussed IHSA contact days, which run Sept. 7 to Oct. 31 this fall. Sports like football and other sports that are not in-season during the fall can utilize up to 20 contact days, allowing interaction and instruction between coaches and student athletes.
Hofer tells WRMJ the Golden Eagles are planning a 7-on-7 intrasquad scrimmage under the lights of Pratt Memorial Field on Friday night, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m.
