Fort Valley State announces 2006 Football
Schedule
April 21, 2006
The Fort Valley State University Department of Athletics has
released its schedule for the 2006 football season.
A total of 10 games, seven of them counting towards play in
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, are on the
docket. Two SIAC teams (Morehouse and Kentucky State) are on
the schedule, but those games will not count towards Fort Valley’s
record in conference play.
Football action will kick off in Atlanta, Georgia when the
Wildcats face the Panthers of Clark Atlanta University on the
CAU campus (8/26). The first of two games in Wildcat Stadium
will be played when the Wildcats host the Maroon Tigers of
Morehouse College (9/2). That game will also be celebrated
as Medical Professionals/Military Appreciation Day. After the
game against Morehouse, the Wildcats will then travel to Valdosta,
Georgia to face the Blazers of Valdosta State University (9/9).
The Wildcats will stay on the road the following week (9/16)
as they travel to Birmingham, Alabama to play the Golden Bears
of Miles College. Fort Valley’s final game during the
month of September (9/23) will be against the Golden Tigers
of Tuskegee University in Macon, Georgia.
Fort Valley State will open the month of October with another
trip to Alabama, this time to the city of Tuscaloosa to play
the Tigers of Stillman College (10/7). After an open date,
the grandest occasion on a college campus (Homecoming) will
be celebrated when the Wildcats host the Tigers of Benedict
College (10/21). Jackson, Tennessee will be the site of Fort
Valley’s next game as the Wildcats take on the Dragons
of Lane College (10/28).
November will see the Wildcats play two games. The first
(11/4) will pit the Wildcats against the Golden Rams of Albany
State University in the 17th edition of the Fountain City Classic.
That game, now considered by many to be one of bigger games
in the Southeast, will be played at McClung-Memorial Stadium
in Columbus, Georgia. Fort Valley State will close out regular
season play on Nov. 11 when the Wildcats travel to Frankfort,
Kentucky to play the Thorobreds of Kentucky State University.
Last season, the Wildcats were 7-3 overall and were third in
the SIAC with a 5-2 record.
