Football: Squad Gears Up For Spring Jersey Scrimmage

    Youngstown – The Youngstown State football team revs up Spring Drills on Saturday morning with their Red-White Jersey Scrimmage at Stambaugh Stadium. The scrimmage is set to start at 9:45 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.

    So far this spring, YSU has had 10 practices and the offense has already taken the Red jerseys from the defense. The defense opened spring camp wearing the Reds before the offense earned them by winning a 30-play scrimmage on April 4.

    The Penguins conclude Spring Drills next Friday at 7:30 p.m. with the annual Red-White Spring Game.

    The contest concludes a busy week for the program. On Tuesday, seniors and Coach Jon Heacock will attend the Bob Dove Spring Game Luncheon at noon in the DeBartolo Stadium Club.
    On Thursday, the senior players will take part in the annual Spaghetti Dinner at Mr. Anthony's in Boardman. The seniors will dine with the members of the Football Alumni Club. Next Friday afternoon, the Football Alumni Club holds its annual golf outing at Oak Tree Country Club in West Middlesex, Pa.
