The Sedan Blue Devils are wrapping up their fourth practice of the season, with head coach Mick Holt and his players turning to morning practices as they work to beat the summer heat. 

 

Holt brings more than three decades of high school coaching experience to the Blue Devils, with time spent coaching football, softball and basketball. This fall, his focus is on getting Sedan ready for another football season. 

 

Sedan finished 4-and-5 last year and won three of its final four regular-season games. Holt says his seniors will play an important role as the Blue Devils look to break through after several middle-of-the-pack seasons. 

 

Sedan has a long tradition of success, and Holt says he can see the hunger within his senior class as the Blue Devils look to avoid another first-round playoff exit. 
 

Sedan will also have a familiar rivalry to look forward to this season when the Blue Devils take on West Elk. Holt and Patriots head coach Ian Denton are both looking forward to the matchup later this fall.
