The run-oriented Brookwood Warriors got an extensive look at their passing attack this week.

The Warriors attended a Fellowship of Christian Athletes passing camp at Georgia Southern, Monday-Wednesday. Brookwood competed in a passing league that included such schools as Cook, Irwin County, South Effingham and Long County.

“As with any passing league, offensively, we’re trying to get route spacing done. We’re trying to get quarterbacks to go through read progression. It’s tough in the wing-T because so much of our passing game is predicated on play-action. In the passing league, there is no run so there is no play-action,” Brookwood coach Robert East said. “It really puts a lot of pressure on your quarterback to make the exact right read and your receivers to be at the exact right place.

“It was a very valuable experience.”

East had mixed feelings when talking about starting quarterback Taylor Bragg.

“Taylor kind of struggled a little bit. The thing that impressed me about Taylor, though, was that he was able to keep his composure,” East said. “He made some poor decisions and some poor throws.

“The impressive thing about Taylor was he stayed with it… On the last day he made some great reads and some great throws.”

According to East, the Warriors also had struggles at the receiver position.

“We’re struggling catching the ball but our guys are working with it and they’re staying with the drills that we do to try to increase our ability to catch the ball,” East said. “We have a few, though, that showed promise there. Paul Brewer is very reliable with his hands and he makes the easy catches and the difficult ones.”

East was also very complimentary about sophomore tight end Matt Barnes, a transfer from Illinois.

Along with Barnes, junior quarterback Ricky Escabedo is also a new face on the Warriors’ roster. A transfer from Chiles High School (Tallahassee, Fla.), Escabedo is expected to challenge Bragg for playing time.

“He’s going to be given every opportunity to earn the starting job. In the wing-T, though, it is tough to learn it from scratch in a month or so. That’s what Ricky’s challenge is,” East said.
