BENTONVILLE — The major differences between what takes place during the Bentonville Football Team Camp and what transpires during a regular game won’t be found inside the boundary lines.

Bentonville football coach Barry Lunney promises plenty of football action when his team battles Springdale Har-Ber, Jenks, Okla., and Jefferson City, Mo., during events today and Friday at Tiger Stadium.

“Just about every facet of the game that you see on Friday night, we’ll have going at the camp,” Lunney said. “It covers every part of the game, but it’s broken down into segments and going against different teams and other competition. Then we’ll do some team stuff as well — kind of like a scrimmage.”

The segments will include items such as inside run, where everything is done inside the tight end positions, as well as pass coverage and pass blocking. Lunney promises there will not be a shortage on two things — repetitions and quality competition.

Jenks is the defending Oklahoma Class 6A state champion and has participated in the camp every year. This is the second year for Jefferson City, who reached the second round of the Missouri playoffs last fall, while Har-Ber joins the fold for the first time.

“There’s no need to go out of state for a camp when you can drive 20 miles and get a high level of competition,” Har-Ber coach Chris Wood said. “You get Bentonville, which is one of the top programs in the state, then you get the best of Oklahoma with Jenks.

“Then you get Jefferson City, who is a perennial contender in Missouri. If you want to get to Little Rock, you have to go through Bentonville, and this will do nothing but help what we want to accomplish.”

An additional benefit to the camp is for everybody simply to see somebody different, which they haven’t done since last fall. It also gives coaches a chance to see how their players — particularly the newer ones — will respond when an opposing team does something that they haven’t seen during practice, which is something they will have to do on Friday nights.

“This day and a half will serve us exceptionally well,” Lunney said. “When we do some team stuff, we’ll be going against some other folks, which you want to see anyway. You need to see your players against other teams, other defenses.

“You get used to blocking your own guys, and it doesn’t take long for kids to figure out which way the play is going when you see it every day. This is always something we look forward to going out of the spring. Coaches and players are tired of going against each other, and you want to see how you well fare against some real quality competition.”

Both teams will have some noticeable absences during the camp. Lunney said Javier Carbonell, a returning starter on the defensive line, will be held out after he underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, and tight end Chase Morse will be out as a precaution after he suffered an ankle injury during the spring.

Wood said heralded defensive lineman Josh Frazier will compete during today’s drills, but he will miss Friday because of a death in the family. Wood said he will have 41 players participate — mainly juniors and seniors, but a few sophomores will see action.

“We have a couple of sophomores that we think will contribute this fall,” Wood said. “I really like what I’ve seen so far, but this camp will be a chance to check their oil.”
