After three long days of conditioning, football teams in the state of Michigan were finally allowed to strap the pads on and hit on Thursday. Meanwhile, every other fall sport enjoyed its second day of official practice.

AnnArbor.com photographer Angela J. Cesere went out to Pioneer High School to catch the day's action from several teams.
