Presbyterian College Football Fans Rally at First-Ever Evening Blue Hose Fan Day
August 23, 2024
The Presbyterian College football fanbase turned up in large numbers on Thursday night for the annual Blue Hose Fan Day sponsored by Self-Regional Healthcare.
Conducted at Bailey Memorial Stadium – the home of PC Football over the past two-plus decades – Fan Day was a jovial event complete with live music, concessions, concourse activities, autograph sessions with student-athletes, and an intersquad scrimmage to cap things off.
With one week left in the 2024 preseason, head coach Steve Englehart‘s crew offered up a glimpse into PC’s 112th season of football with a one-hour period of practice in front of the Bailey Memorial audience.
Englehart’s third year with the Blue Hose will begin next Thursday with a visit to Mercer at 7:00 PM. The Blue Hose will make their 2024 home debut two weeks later after also traveling to Erskine, welcoming Virginia-Lynchburg on September 14.
WORDS FROM COACH ENGLEHART
“Today was a very productive day, not just from the players’ standpoint but also because we had such a great turnout from our fans and the Clinton community. Our guys are always motivated to get this program where it needs to go, and part of that is down to the support that they’re shown every week from our fans.”
“I think that it’s been one of the smoothest preseason camps that I can remember. Today, while it wasn’t a traditional scrimmage, we were able to run 78 plays. Now, we turn the attention to Mercer, who will certainly be a quality opponent but we’ll have our guys ready to get out there and fight like they always do.”
The first Fan Day of its kind to be held in the evening, Thursday’s event offered up numerous activities for both children and adults alike. Among them was the aforementioned meet-and-greet with PC’s players and an outdoor concert from local singer/songwriter Audrey Adams.
Season tickets for the 2024 campaign – as well as single-game seats for any of PC’s six home games this year – are still available. A link to purchase those tickets can be found below, or near the top of this page.
