Cullowhee, N.C. - On its final scheduled off-day of its spring drills, members of the Western Carolina Catamount football team spent the day promoting this weekend's Spring Game, as well as participating in a road-side clean-up on N.C. Highway 107.
Assistant coaches Steven Clinkscale, John Scott and Brad Sherrod, as well as players James Singletary, Jeff Bradley and Darrell Gray, were live guests on WWCU-FM, Power 90dot5 as the station broadcast live from the lawn of the Hinds University Center on Wednesday. They spoke about off-season workouts, spring practice and expectations from this weekend's Spring Game.
Wednesday afternoon, donning orange safety vests and gloves, the Catamounts picked up trash along N.C. Highway 107 which spans between Sylva and Cullowhee. Split in groups of three, the players spanned the roadside picking up refuge in preparation of the large crowd expected to flock to Cullowhee this weekend for the Spring Game.
Festivities surrounding the beginning of the Dennis Wagner era on Saturday begin at Noon with the first-ever "A Taste of Tailgating." Area restaurants will be on-location offering free samples to those in attendance. The game will begin at 1:00 pm, with a post-game autograph session on the field with the players and coaches.
Fans can also purchase season tickets for the 2008 football season during the game.
WCU will hold its final two practices prior to the annual game on Thursday and Friday afternoon on the turf at E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
