STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern Football returned to the "Banks of
Beautiful Eagle Creek" on Friday afternoon for the sixth practice of the spring
season. The Eagles got two days off this week after practicing on Monday and
Tuesday afternoons. The spring season culminates on April 14th with the annual
Blue White Spring Game.
The Eagles take the show to
Paulson Stadium on Saturday morning with the first scrimmage of the spring
season starting at 10 a.m. Fans attending the game are asked to sit in the
stands behind the Eagle bench.
"We're excited to be out at
Paulson Stadium tomorrow because it is such a special place", said Head Coach
Jeff Monken. "To have an opportunity to be out on that grass, in that stadium,
and half some people in the stands is going to create some energy for our guys.
Defending Paulson is something that we try to stress every time we got out
there, and tomorrow will be no different."
The Eagles practiced 22
periods on Friday afternoon in full pads less than 24 hours before Saturday's
scrimmage at Paulson. The afternoon on the field culminated with two periods of
offense versus defense on the main field. Fridays' practice was also part of
the Georgia Southern Football Coaches Clinic in which local high school
football coaches watched the Eagles practice.
The annual Blue White
spring game is set for 1 p.m. on April 14th at Paulson Stadium and will be
preceded by the 6th Annual Little Eagles Camp at 10 a.m. The annual EFAA
Reverse Raffle and Auction will also take place at 6 p.m. in Bishop Field
House.
