CLEMMONS, NORTH CAROLINA--For those players, fans and coaches champing at the bit for the official start of football season in August, 7 on 7s offer a glimpse into what a team has to offer as the countdown to the start of practice begins.

West Forsyth and Coach Kevin Wallace held the first of a series of 7 on 7 on Saturday, with seven other teams from around the Piedmont-Triad showcasing their offenses and defenses in the controlled scrimmages.

Wallace is in his first season with the Titans after six years at Northwest Guilford.

7 on 7s can be especially helpful for coaches with new teams as their offensive systems gets implemented.

The scrimmages are also beneficial to teams with a host of new players who have moved up from the junior varsity ranks or have transferred from a different school so that they can get accustomed to their new environment.
