Rio Rancho hold summer practice with Eldorado

They practiced with the Eldorado Eagles Tuesday.

The 7-on-7 matchup included a lineman challenge.

Rams’ head coach David Howes says the summer practice is vital for success later in the year.

"It's really important we don't have a padded spring ball or anything like that so we've got to get an opportunity to get as much of the summer stuff in as we can. And to get ready for August this year, we lose a week in August, so this stuff becomes a little more important," Howes said.
