Shaw Bears Football To Scrimmage Saturday, August 24

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- Shaw University will hold its annual football scrimmage on Saturday, August 24 at noon at Chavis Park in southeast Raleigh. Following the contest, fans will have the opportunity to meet their favorite Bears.

The scrimmage will give Shaw fans the chance to get a first look at the 2013 Shaw squad. Head Coach Robert Massey - entering his second season at the helm - has confidence the team will perform much better than last year's 4-6 record.

"Our goals haven't changed; our motto hasn't changed," he said. "We're still 'all in' and it takes a while, but in year two we should be ready to turn the corner."

Chavis Park is located at 505 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue.

The scrimmage won't be the only chance the Bear faithful have to meet the team. A Pigskin Preview will be held on Wednesday, August 28 which will give media and fans a chance to meet the Bears and hear about the upcoming season. The event is at 6:30 p.m. at the Courtyard Marriott Crabtree.

Shaw opens the 2013 football season with a home contest against Charleston (WV) on Saturday, September 7 at 1:00 p.m. at the Durham County Memorial Stadium. Both single game and season tickets are on sale now.
