OAKWOOD — Junior tight end Malcolm Young was able to compete with his Riverside Military teammates in Thursday’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes passing camp and lineman challenge at Johnson High School, even though it required a day-long drive prior from his home in Miami with his mother and cousin to make it in time. Eagles second-year coach Gary Downs hopes that’s a good sign for the future, managing to work out the logistics of getting players for the private boarding school to the area in summer months, even though the majority of his roster lives outside Northeast Georgia. “When I found out it was an FCA camp, I knew I wanted to come,” said Young, who enrolled at Riverside Military the second semester of his sophomore year, and plans on having his family move closer to the area.
