SOUTHERN EXCHANGE

STATESBORO - The coaching staffs have been assigned, the teams will be drafted on Wednesday and it's soon to be all about the bragging rights as the Blue-White Spring Football Game, presented by Southern Exchange is set for Friday evening at Allen E. Paulson Stadium. The team will take the field for stretching and individual work and the actual spring game is set for 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Friday's action will mark the 15th and final practice during the spring session for head coach Chad Lunsford and his staff. This year's spring game will be an actual game with the teams divided up as equally as possible to provide one last evaluation piece for all of the players.

The roster card will be available later this week for download to your mobile device or printing to bring to the stadium. A limited number of these will also be available in the stadium.
