Fort Valley State University Releases 2003
Football Schedule
April 15, 2003
Fort Valley State University has released its 2003 Football
Schedule. The Wildcats, under new head coach John Morgan, will
play an eleven game schedule. Included in the schedule are
eight Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference games, three
classics, and two special event home contests.
The 2003 football season will also see the Wildcats pick up two new opponents.
Fort Valley will kick the season off in Griffin against Morehouse College (Aug.
30). Perennial CIAA frontrunner Winston-Salem State (Sept. 6, Macon) replaces
Valdosta State, and Stillman College, which recently moved up from Division
III, replaces Savannah State. Lane College will play in Fort Valley on Sept.
13. In addition to two new opponents, Fort Valley will play four games at neutral
sites, including Brunswick, Georgia, which will host the inaugural Stan Lomax
Gold Coast Classic on September, 27. There, the Wildcats will face the Panthers
of Clark-Atlanta University in a game that could shape up to be a key SIAC
match-up.
Alcorn State University, the only I-AA opponent the ‘Cats face this year;
will pay a visit to Fort Valley State on Oct. 4th. The next week (Oct. 11)
Fort Valley will host the Golden Bears of Miles College as High School/Pan-Hellenic/Take
a Kid to a Game Day will be celebrated. After two consecutive road games at
Benedict (Oct. 18) and Tuskegee (Oct. 25), Fort Valley will close out the home
portion of its schedule against Stillman College (Nov. 1), which will also
be Homecoming. Fort Valley closes out the regular season with a road game at
Kentucky State (Nov. 8) and the annual Fountain City Classic against Albany
State in Columbus (Nov. 15).
Last season, the Wildcats were 7-4 overall and 6-2 in SIAC play. For information
