Thursday’s first practice in pads produced different reactions from Gaither head coach Jason Stokes and Robinson head coach Mike DePue.

Stokes issued a challenge to his players, while DePue did his best to make sure his mostly new starting lineup was in the best positions to make plays.

DePue also delivered a string of one-liners throughout the practice.
