Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and fans will be welcomed at 7:15, followed by the introduction of the women’s team, special events and a scrimmage of two 10-minute halves. The men’s team will participate in the same events starting at 8.
The App State men’s team brings in several notable newcomers to compliment their returning players after a 9-21 season including 2016 leading scorer, junior guard Ronshad Shabazz and senior forward Griffin Kinney to headline the group.
