By the Numbers
  • The Spring Game will start at 5:30pm on Friday, April 12, at Fred G. Hughes Stadium.
  • Entry to the game requires one non-perishable food item to support the Lion Co-Op's annual food drive.
Yes, But

The Spring Game will focus on practice and improvement rather than solely winning the game.

State of Play
  • The Spring Game will involve joint practice sessions and a modified game against McKendree University from the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
  • The event will also include the MSSU Football Alumni Association's annual golf tournament on April 13 at Eagle Creek Golf Club.
What's Next

The focus is on using the Spring Game to enhance the team's skills and prepare for the upcoming season, with the golf tournament following the next day.

Bottom Line

The Missouri Southern football team is embracing a new Spring Game format to enhance skills, with a strategic focus on improvement and experience rather than just victory.
