Albany State, Fort Valley State get set for 26th annual Fountain City Classic

COLUMBUS, Georgia -- Albany State and Fort Valley State football coaches, players and alumni kicked off the 26th annual Fountain City Classic week at a press conference and luncheon on Tuesday at the Columbus Convention & Trade Center.

As it is each year, opposing coaches discussed the game itself as well as the festivities, and area high school coaches and players were welcomed to get to know the two programs at the luncheon.

This year, the game, which will kick off at 2 p.m. Saturday at A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium, is more than just bragging rights and pride for the two rivals. It’s also a win-or-go-home scenario in which the winner advances to the SIAC championship game next Saturday at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala.

“All the records are out the window,” Fort Valley coach Donald Pittman said on Tuesday.
