HOUSTON, Texas -- At the request of coach Dawson Odums, members of the Southern football squad attended services at New Hope Baptist Church this Sunday.
“They invited us to attend,” Odums said. “We are a community football team, and we want the community to know that they can be a part of what’s going on here. We loved being there, and I thank the church for having our football team there.”
While not considered mandatory, the majority of the team attended the service.
“It was a relaxed environment,” quarterback Dray Joseph said. “It was a team-bonding experience. It was a terrific experience for the team.”
Could it be the first of many in Odums’ first full season as head coach?
As Friday night’s game at Houston arrives, Odums gets his first chance to show what he can do after having the interim tag removed from his title this past winter, when he signed a two-year contract.
But this is not the first time in Odums’ career that he has gone from interim to head coach.
