Fort Valley Wraps up Spring Practice with Spring Game

FORT VALLEY, Georgia -- The rain came but didn't spoil the annual spring football game. The Wildcats hit the field and were able to test some new plays and polish up some old ones in front of the faithful who didn't let the rain keep them away from their team. The coaches ran plays and designed action to test both the defense and offense. This observer noticed an increase in speed and agility on the field that will make what was a stingy offense last season even more so in the coming season. In addition, the offense has some new faces and different roles for some of last seasons' returners.

Head coach Kevin Porter when asked about todays' game said "we are happy with the work that we got done this winter and spring. The spring is the time to focus on the areas that need improvement and gives you an opportunity to explore areas where you can expand and grow. We feel confident that we were able to get many of those things done during the spring practice".

The Wildcats got ahead of the weather and the rain wasn't able to stop them. The fans and faithful followers of the team that has played in the last two SIAC championship games saw reason to believe the Wildcat football team will continue to be in front of the competition come fall 2018.

The first game of the season will be against Florida A&M in Tallahassee, Florida September 1, 2018.
