FLORENCE --
The University of North Alabama football team
will begin it's defense of the 2006 Gulf South
Conference championship Friday when the Lions
report to begin preseason workouts.
UNA head coach Mark
Hudspeth expects more than 120 student-athletes
in the preseason workouts, which begin with
meetings Friday, physicals and a conditioning
test Saturday and workouts on Sunday. The
practices from August 11-17 will be at
Veteran's Park in Floremce. The Lions will then
move back to the on- campus practice facility on
August 18.
UNA went 11-1 last
season, winning the Gulf South Conference title
and advancing to the quarterfinals of the
Division II playoffs.
North Alabama opens
its season on Sept. 8 at home against Tusculum.
"Since we don't
play the first two available weekends, we are
having to start practice later than most folks
and that has un edge a little," said UNA head
coach Mark Hudspeth. "We're ready to get
practice underway."
Hudspeth says the
2007 group of Lions should be "the most talented
group we've put together in my six years at UNA."
But he says that talent will have to come
together and "all pull in the same direction" if
the Lions hope to make another run at the NCAA
Division II National Championship.
