Football teams across the Central Coast Section will put away the tackling bags and sleds as they enter into a two-week dead period starting Friday.
Practice can officially begin again starting Aug. 4 as teams get into the final stretch ahead of the Aug. 25 kickoff of the 2017 season.
In the final week of practice, the Christopher football team was getting at it both on the practice field and at a 7-on-7 clinic down in Salinas.
On Tuesday, Christopher went through a series of defensive drills, including tackling fundamentals.
The Cougars will next come together on Aug. 3 as part of the annual Midnight Madness tradition where they will begin working out at the stroke of midnight, to be the first in the section to begin practicing.
