New Cape Coral coach Brad Metheny said he did not feel so new anymore as the first day of football practice on fields adjacent to Dave Warkentin Field.

Cape Coral High senior Spencer Boyd is sitting out tonight’s game with a sprained MCL in his left knee. I caught up with Boyd on the North sideline and despite the departure of Fighting Irish coach Charlie Weis, Boyd said he remains committed to Notre Dame.
