Shaw University Football Announces Spring Game 

Raleigh, NC – (April 2, 2008) The Bears football program at Shaw University has slated Saturday, April 5^th for their annual Spring Game at 2:00 p.m. at Hillside High School in Durham, North Carolina located at 3727 Fayetteville Street.  The Bears are the current 2007 CIAA Champions. 

Head Coach Darrell Asberry and the coaching staff are already underway with practice and preparation for the upcoming 2008 season.  Talking about the direction and focus of the game, Assistant Coach Quincy Pedew, Running Backs/Recruiting Coordinator stated, “We are going to pitch defense versus offense in a practice controlled scrimmage.  Our emphasis will be on the fundamentals versus actual play.” 

In the spirit of competition Assistant Coach Perez Boulware, Defensive  Coordinator/Linebackers stated, “Every time we hit the field we position ourselves in game like situations and we practice in a competitive atmosphere.  We practice daily with intensity.  The coaches compete; the players compete.  Moral is up and everybody stays focused.  Walking off of the field is the team concept but it gets very competitive out there.  We break down with the Lord’s Prayer lifting our hands, hearts and minds in unison.” 

The Spring Game will be an exciting step towards the Bears mission to recapture the CIAA Championship.  Please come out and support the Bears and get a glimpse of action that will surely set the tone of competition for the 2008 season.
