Fresh off back-to-back MIAA championships, the Fort Hays State football team will give Tiger fans a preview of the upcoming 2019 season with the annual Spring Football Scrimmage on Saturday, April 13 at Lewis Field Stadium. The scrimmage is set to begin at 1 p.m., with festivities hosted by Tigers4Ever, the FHSU student alumni association. Gates open at noon. Admission is FREE for all.
Tiger fans will have the opportunity to tailgate in the lot north of Lewis Field Stadium beginning at 10 a.m. Normally reserved during the season, parking spots will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so be sure to arrive early to get an ideal location!
The Tigers will host a youth football camp for 1st-6th graders from 10 a.m. until noon. Included in the camp will be a punt, pass and kick competition, with the finals to be held during halftime of the spring game. For those interested in registering for the youth camp, contact coach Ike Eguae at I_eguae@fhsu.edu or call (785) 639-1001. See the graphic below.
