Latest news, weather and high school sports for Albany and Southwest Georgia

ALBANY, GA -- One week away from the first Saturday of college football looking at the basics shouldn't be the top priority for Albany State.

But that's where ASU Head Coach Mike White and his Golden Rams are stuck. The secondary and offensive line are still working through the fundamentals of the Golden Rams system.

Only a week away from the North Greenville opener, that's a concern for Coach White especially with the offense the Crusaders are bringing to Albany.

“Playing a team who's going to come in here with a lot of speed, a lot of returning guys...you're going to have to have your A,B,C's and your 1,2,3's down and right now we seem to be kind of struggling with that,” Coach White said. “That's why we're going to keep it here and see how much we can improve.”

Possible starting quarterback Keenan Grissett has missed some recent practices with a sore back. Coach White says Grissett is progressing along and the team is hopeful he can play in season opener.
