SportsTalk Rewind 9.07.11: Wofford’s Mike Ayers (AUDIO)

September 7, 2011 By

The Wofford Terriers got their football season off to a good start, beating Presbyterian in a close one, 35-28, up in Clinton.  Tonight, we got ahold of Terrier Head Coach, Mike Ayers, to get his thoughts on the week one win over the Blue Hose.

AUDIO: Mike Ayers

Saturday will bring a tougher test for Ayers and the gang, as they head up to Memorial Stadium to take on the Clemson Tigers.  Coach Ayers evoked memories of his squads’ last trip to Columbia, when they put up a hell of a fight against the Gamecocks, and cited it as reason to believe his Terriers can compete in Clemson.

Wednesday Statewide Practice Reports

August 18, 2011 By

Coastal Carolina

CONWAY – The Coastal Carolina football team had its second scrimmage of the 2011 preseason camp Wednesday morning at Brooks Stadium. Quarterback Aramis Hillary and tight end Jamie Childers, who also played well at quarterback, teamed up for the big play of the day, a 67-yard touchdown on the first drive

 ”After two scrimmages, I can see we are getting better, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said head coach David Bennett. “We have to do a better job as coaches, getting these players ready to scrimmage. I know it was early in the morning after two practices yesterday, but there has to be more excitement, enthusiasm and communication. These scrimmages are very valuable in getting ready for the season and we just have one-and-a-half scrimmages left. We cannot afford to waste these opportunities or use them to the fullest.”  [Read more...]
