Memphis Xplorers News Release
SOUTHAVEN, MS- The Memphis Xplorers of af2, in the thick of their most competitive training camp in team history, will hold an open scrimmage this Friday evening from 5:30-8:00 PM at the DeSoto Civic Center.
The Xplorers, who will look to build off of last season's momentum, look to be assembling a talented and diverse group of players to take the field for the 2004 season, which starts April 10th.
Tonight's scrimmage will be the first of several scheduled for the pre-season, and will give Head Coach Danton Barto a chance to better evaluate his talent.
"Things have been going really well so far in camp," said Barto. "We're looking forward to getting the guys in a simulated game situation."
All Xplorers practices and scrimmages are open to both the public and the media. The team's practice schedule has consisted of two-a-days, with a morning session at 9:30 AM and an evening session at 5:30 PM. For more information, contact media relations director Galen Clavio at 662-342-1755.
All sixteen regular season Xplorers football games will be heard throughout the Mid-South on SportsPlus 790 WMC. In addition, all games will be broadcast on X-Cast, a special in-house radio broadcast designed specifically for the DeSoto Civic Center. X-Cast airs on 107.9 FM, and can be received while in the DeSoto Civic Center by using a walkman or other personal radio.
The first regular-season game broadcast for the Xplorers will take place on Saturday, April 10th at 6:45 pm, as Memphis starts the season on the road while taking on the Birmingham Steeldogs. The Xplorers' first home game will take place the following Saturday, April 17, as the green and gold tackle the Florida Firecats.
