Training camp

Polar Bears have new attitude for a new division

By Jarrod Harris Times West Virginian

FAIRMONT — Picking it up and setting it down.

The Fairmont Senior Polar Bears plan on preparing their high-flight offense during the three weeks of camp.

The Polar Bears want to use camp as a learning tool for their young team so they can get on the same page in terms of quarterback to wide-out.

“As far as passing-wise goes, for us, we get a lot out of these camps,” said Fairmont Senior coach Jared Mileto. “We get an early start to work on receivers coming in and we have a new quarterback so we get to work a lot on timing and get our routes down. This time period really does get us a jump-start on the rest of the season.”

Last season, Trevor Malnick was the team’s star quarterback, but Austin Norman plans on filling those shoes.

“With Trevor just leaving, there’s obviously big shoes to fill, but I think I’m capable of doing it,” Norman said.

Having a star quarterback leave, Mileto is familiar on how to train a quarterback and make sure he is prepared to be successful for the start of the regular season.
