8/16/08 You can tell that football season is getting closer in Cape Girardeau as a spirited crowd showed up for the Redhawks football team's first full=pad scrimmage of the preseason. The team held its first full-contact scrimmage at Houck Stadium. The only player you couldn't tackle was the quarterbacks who wore green jerseys while the rest of the offense wore red and the defense was decked out in white. The scrimmage was a situational scrimmage that put both sides of the ball in different game-like scenerios including short-yardage, goal-line and two-minute situations.
