Next Saturday, Aug. 26, four local football teams will head to Paulson Stadium for the annual Erk Russell Classic.
The event is sponsored by the Heritage Group of the Eagle Football Alumni Association and will begin at 6 p.m when Burke County and Effingham County are set to face off. Statesboro and Southeast Bulloch will follow at 9 p.m.
Pre-sale tickets are now available at the participating schools for $10. For each pre-sale ticket sold, $7 will be returned to the school athletic department. Tickets purchased at Paulson on the day of the event will be $15, with proceeds going to the Heritage Group.
The Eagle Football Alumni Association started the Classic in 2012 to honor the legendary coach and as a fundraiser to endow Georgia Southern football scholarships.
Parking will be $5, and all normal Paulson Stadium regulations will apply. For more information, please contact a participating school or email [email protected].
