Rain Meet ASU Football at Practice Session Two

MONTGOMERY, Alabama  -- Alabama State's football team hit the field for the second session of spring practice and they were met with some adverse weather conditions as a cold wind and then rain swept across the field.

For most of the 80 minute practice session, the Hornets battled through the elements with a lot of energy.

"It was really not a good day to try and get a practice in, but the players handled it well," Head Coach Reggie Barlow said.  "You don't expect this type of weather in Alabama in March, but there was a lot of enthusiasm out there today and the players had a lot of fun."

"There toward the end it was hard to hang on to the ball because all of them got wet, so it was good to get in some work in those wet conditions to see how we would handle it."

The Hornets are scheduled for their third session tomorrow, Friday, March 7 at 7 p.m.  The practice sessions are being held at Old Hornet Stadium.
