St. Aloysius’ football team held its annual youth camp this week at Farrell Stadium-Balzli Field.

More than a dozen young players in grades K-6 mingled with St. Al’s varsity players, as well as coaches Walker Mosby and Bumper Brogdon, as they ran through drills and played games of touch football.

The camp began Monday and concluded Thursday morning.
