ALBANY, GA -- The Albany State football team is prepping for a drive to the SIAC title with summer workouts.

On Friday, Boosters of the “Blue and Gold” did some driving and pitching to fundraise for the ASU program.

The Golden Rams held their 10th annual at the Flint River Golf Course raising money for the program. The ASU athletes on the football field are working to reclaim the SIAC championship after falling to Miles College in the inaugural championship game last season.

ASU Head Coach Mike White talked about how his team handled that first championship game and how it will be different this season.

“(We) kind of know what to expect this year...how that's all going to work out. There won't be any changes in the middle of the year like it was last year, but we expect to be right back in the hunt and just kind of understand how you play your cards this time,” Coach White said.

The Golden Rams open fall practice at the beginning of august. Though, Coach White and the crew are still on the recruiting trail hoping to pick up a few more 2012 additions.
