Okay. At this time uh, Mr. Hiser, can you relate to the uh, practice that occurred August 20th, 2008, while at PRP's football field, practice field...the events that occurred that day?
Uh, yes. Uh, as I arrived at PRP that day, uh, the defense went over to the weight room to lift weights while the offense watched film. We then switched. After about 25 to 30 minutes of lifting, then the defense went to watch film and the offense went to the weight room. Uh, after film session, uh, we headed over to the practice field. Uh, approximately uh, a little bit after 4 o'clock, uh, we did our stretching routine and warm-up, we went to team take-off's. After the team take-off period was over, uh, I sent the defense to get water after they broke down, we then went in the uh, EDD's, our, your individual positions, the linebackers and defensive back came over there with me from their water break. We did six or seven minutes of bag drills, they got to break down, they got some more water. They come back, we did

about six or seven more of individual type stuff. We met with the defensive linemen, did run fits, uh, assignment type stuff...they got another break down at the conclusion of EDD's. Uh, the linebackers and defensive backs then went with me over to the offensive skill positions, we did our seven on seven session...the first group went about seven or eight plays, we sent in group 2, the ones were instructed to go get water. The twos and uh, some threes and others that kinda three and below guys that mix in, they uh, they went for about seven or eight plays. Uh, ones were called back up, the guys the twos and below were told to go get water. The ones went again for about seven or eight plays, we ended the seven on seven period, and they were all told to get water...even, that's included everybody, even if the two just got back from water, we all go get water, to get 'em off the field. Uh, after the water break, they come back and uh, Coach Stinson told 'em to line up. We uh, went straight in to conditioning that day. I was there for uh, on the, on the touch side of the practice field, away from where they begin their runnin'...their gassers. Uh, I was there for approximately two or three minutes, at the most, and then I walked off the practice field and headed, headed home.
