Spring Football Game
Set For This Saturday |
|
The Ashland University spring football game is scheduled for this Saturday, April 30, at 7 p.m., at Community Stadium. A regulation game will take place with the only difference being 12-minute quarters instead of the normal 15. The game will be mostly drive situations with no special teams. Teams will be determined by a draft that will be held this week. The teams will be split evenly and coaches will be assigned to either the Purple or White team. Along with the football game, a four-man golf scramble for alumni and fans will be held at Brookside Golf Course on Saturday. Lunch will be at noon with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Awards from the golf outing will be presented during pre-game festivities at Community Stadium. The part of the program is expected to begin at 6 p.m. There is no admission to the game. Fans are asked to bring a canned food item or make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. All canned goods will go to benefit the Associated Charities and the Salvation Army in conjunction with the United Way. Gates will open an hour before the game and items will be collected until halftime. This is the second AU spring game under the direction of head coach Lee Owens. In 2004, Owens guided the Eagles to a 5-6 finish. |
