JCSU under lights for spring football finale

Johnson C. Smith’s spring football game will be held under the lights. The Golden Bulls will scrimmage April 11 at 7 p.m. at McGirt Field. The game is free and open to the public.

Smith went 2-8 in 2010 and must replace quarterback Ryan Carter (Harding High) and all-CIAA receiver Jeremy Franklin. The defense, which allowed an average of 39 points a game last season, also needs retooling.

“Football is a game of measurements and spring ball gives our coaching staff the chance to measure where we are as a team to this point,” head coach Steve Aycock said. “We have some kids that may step into new roles this season and this is a part of the preparation process.”
