B-CU gets back to fundamentals for spring football practice

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  Brian Jenkins had to think about it. Is this his most experienced team since he became Bethune-Cookman's head football coach after the 2009 season?

“That's a good question,'' he said. “I'm not sure.''
 
The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Wildcats have lost some key players, but the majority of the starters from last year's 9-3 team are back.
 
Still, spring is a time of rebirth, and that's how Jenkins views spring practice, which is scheduled to get under way Saturday at the Wildcats' refurbished practice field on campus.
 
“We're just going to work on fundamentals,” Jenkins said. “This team is untested. It hasn't done anything yet.''
 
The Wildcats are scheduled to have 12 practices before ending with a spring scrimmage April 20 at either New Smyrna Beach Stadium or Municipal Stadium. B-CU athletic spokesman Bryan Harvey said the Wildcats have not set a time or venue for the scrimmage, which will be open to the public. The Wildcats' practices are not open to the public.
