South Georgia Wildcats News Release
ALBANY, GA- The South Georgia Wildcats are excited to announce the 2008 af2 schedule has been released. The league's ninth season will kick off Friday, March 28, 2008.
The Wildcats will open the home schedule on Saturday, April 5th when they take on the Louisville Fire.
The schedule features a 3-game set with the South Division's perennial power, the Florida Firecats. Last year, the Wildcats finished one game behind Florida in the division standings despite beating the Firecats twice in the regular season. The Wildcats also went on to defeat the Firecats in the opening round of the playoffs.
"We've been anxiously awaiting the 08 schedule for a while now. Last year we thought we had the toughest schedule in the league, so we'd love a break this year, but in this league you can't look at the schedule in November and know how good the teams you're playing are," said Head Coach Derek Stingley.
There are five newcomers to the Wildcats schedule. The Wildcats will take on three expansion teams in the Daytona Beach ThunderBirds, Austin Wranglers, and the Peoria Pirates. Also, the Wildcats will face the Spokane Shock and the Quad City Steamwheelers for the first time in franchise history.
"Once the schedule comes out, I think everybody (coaches, staff, players, and fans) starts marking down the days on their calendar until the season starts. Also, playing three expansion teams and two other teams we've never faced before is exciting for our fans and our players," said General Manager Darren McPhail.
Wildcats season tickets are available now by contacting the Wildcats office at 229-435-0205 or the box office at 229-435-2TIX. Don't miss out on the action.
