Thanks to Greg Hansen for his article on UA Football history at Camp Cochise.
The teams that experienced the intensity and cohesive atmosphere that only an isolated football community can create were some of the best squads ever to play at ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ Stadium.
I played football at Buena H.S. (Sierra Vista) in the late 70s, early 80s under Coach Truman Williamson.
We had 2-a day practice (7am, and 3:30 -6pm) for 2 weeks prior to start of season.
We both hated and loved it.
We hated and loved our coaches.
By the end of preseason camp we were a cohesive "Band of Brothers" who had endured together and created a true team.
I believe that this type of preseason experience helps to solidify the Brotherhood culture of a football team.
