Auburn has been conditioning for a week, working on sprints, agilities, lifting, and going over plays in the classroom. Head coach Cam Akers said that they will continue to work out until a final decision is made by the VHSL. “It’s obviously different than how we’d normally do things,” Akers said. But it’s nice to see these guys come out, be resilient through this time, and come out here and get back to work,” Akers said.
