The Hillsboro Indians completed their fifth day of two-a-day practices on Friday evening, as they are preparing for their 2016 football season. The Indians are coached by Jack O’Rourke, his first year with the HHS program.
O’Rourke is entering his 37th season as a football coach and his 31st as a head coach. His previous head coaching job was at Blanchester for the past seven seasons.
HHS returns some players from their starting lineup last season, but they also lost some All-District and an All-Ohio selection from the ’15 season, a year where the Indians finished 3-7 overall.

HHS opens the 2016 season on the road, facing non-league opponent Western Brown at 7 p.m.
