Defense creates havoc
From staff reports

Following position drills and a few situational plays, Appalachian State University football settled in for its first long scrimmage of the camp.

The defense stymied the offense early and often during many of the first several series. The first teamers were unable to sustain a drive more than six plays before sophomore quarterback DeAndre Presley ran 34 yards for the day's first touchdown.

Working with the second team offense, freshman Travaris Cadet ran a first down draw play up the middle 70 yards for a touchdown. A third score came on yet another long play as Brian Quick ran a third-and-10 out route and broke free for a 70-yard score of his own a few plays later.

On the other side of the ball, Ed Gainey and Brandon Lloyd had some of the day's hardest hits, but end Lanston Tanyi was constantly making stops in the backfield while freshman Michael Frazier also made several stops.

Before the team wrapped up the three-hour practice, CoCo Hillary made a spectacular grab for a 26-yard touchdown, and Cadet completed a 40-yard bomb to tight end Brandon Thompson for a score.
