Eley Meets With the Media in Advance of Labor Day Classic

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --  With just 10 days remaining before the kickoff of the 2018 season with the second annual Labor Day Classic, Alabama State head coach Donald Hill-Eley met with the media at ASU Stadium Wednesday morning.

Eley was joined by Tuskegee head coach Willie Slater to discuss the game and preparations that have taken place over the last two weeks for both teams. The Golden Tigers defeated Alabama State 14-6 last season, but this will be the first meeting with Tuskegee for Eley who was named head coach after a 5-1 run as the interim coach last season.

Kick set for the contest is set for 5 pm, and can be seen on Amazon Fire and Facebook courtesy of HBCU Gameday. Season tickets and single game tickets are on sale for the 2018 season. The Hornets play four home games during the campaign with Jackson State, Texas Southern and Mississippi Valley State joining Tuskegee. Several options are available for fans this season, including a Young Alumni package and group rates. For more information, call (334) 229-4551 or visit BamaStateSports.com.
