2018 Mt. Zion Braves Summer/7on7 plans
SIUC 7 on 7 Camp - July 13th
Mt.Zion Hosts 7 on 7 every Monday and Wednesday in July
Did you know...that Mt. Zion posted a 5-4 record in 2017 but missed the state playoff field because of low playoff points. The Braves had a shot at getting to 6 plus wins last season but two tough end of the season losses in Week 7 (6-0 loss to Mahomet-Seymour) along with it's Week 9 (21-7 loss to Troy) loss no question will give the Braves plenty of motivation this summer heading into 2018.
