Red-White scrimmage is Saturday at Roos

By popular demand, teams for this year’s Red-White Game will be even more prepared than last year.

The Eastern Washington University football team will conclude spring practices this Saturday, April 28, with the annual Red-White Game at Roos Field and even moved up the “draft” of players by two days to help teams be better prepared.

“Three of our spring practices will be leading up to the Red-White, and they’ll be practicing more with their teams on what they are going to do on Saturday,” second-year Eagle head coach Aaron Best said.

The game starts at 2:05 p.m. at “The Inferno,” and the public is invited to attend at no charge. It will also be aired live regionally on SWX, and a special “Lil EKG Day” for kids pre-school through eighth grade will take place afterwards. That gathering for “Eastern Kind of Grade-Schoolers” includes a few drills and obstacle courses with players, and will be followed by an autograph session. Schedule posters will be distributed beforehand at the Red-White Game.

The game is taking place in conjunction with the 37th Annual Orland Killin Weekend at EWU, featuring the Orland Killin Dinner, Dance and Auction which takes place later in the day on April 28. More information is available at: http://goeags.com/killin.
