The Fort Hays State football team wrapped up their first week of camp with an inter-squad scrimmage Sunday morning at Lewis Field. The scrimmage consisted of about 70 plays with no live tackling except for the freshman.

The offense only managed to score one touchdown. Senior quarterback Treveon Albert connected with junior wide receiver Isiah Maxi on a 10-yard strike. Drew O’Brien made two of three field goal attempts, hitting from 36 and 42 yards but missed on a 28 yard try.

Fort Hays State head coach Chris Brown said he was relatively pleased with what he saw. “I thought our kids did pretty well. I saw good things from both sides of the ball” Brown said. “It was pretty crisp, it was pretty clean. A few too many penalties but those are things we’re going to work out.”

Kevin Spain, who started one game last season before missing the final nine games with an injury, completed 4-of-6 passes for 32 yards. Redshirt freshman Jacob Mezera was 2-for-6 for 14 yards.

Derek Campbell led the Tigers running attack with 26 yards on six carries. Redshirt freshman Malik Thomas rushed for 24 yards on seven carries and sophomore Shaquille Cooper gained six yards on four attempts.
