Savannah State football team holds scrimmage off campus for public

SAVANNAH, Georgia -- The Savannah State football team’s first Community Appreciation Summer Clinic and Scrimmage was held Saturday morning off campus at Memorial Stadium. Partnering with Chatham County Park Services, the university wanted to give fans an opportunity to interact with the players and coaches in a short clinic before the team held an intrasquad scrimmage.

The scrimmage, which was split into 15-play segments at different spots on the field, went for a total of 125 plays before the final whistle was blown.

The offense (blue squad) was operating with a lot of new faces. While the young group was relatively unfamiliar playing with each other, head coach Earnest Wilson was pleased with how the offensive unit looked.

“It was the first time this coaching staff worked together,” Wilson said. “It was the first time the guys were on the sidelines together. So we are happy that things on that side of the ball are moving in the right direction.”
