Anthony Curry looks to lead the defense in 2009.
With Valparaiso set to kick
off spring practice on Monday, March 30, head coach Stacy Adams has announced the 2009 football schedule, which will
see the Brown and Gold play at Brown Field six times.
The Crusaders will open the
season at home on September 5 against region foe Saint
Joseph’s (Ind.) before heading to Wisconsin to battle
Concordia one week later. After a bye
week in mid-September, Valpo will close the non-conference slate on September
26 at home against Carthage.
The Pioneer Football League
slate begins on October 3 in Des
Moines, Iowa when the
Brown and Gold face Drake. One week
later, the Crusaders return to Brown Field for Homecoming when San Diego comes to town. The annual Battle
for the Hoosier Helmet takes place in Indianapolis,
Ind. on October 17 against Butler
before the Crusaders return home to face Dayton
for Parents’ Day.
Two straight games away from
home, October 31 and November 7, wrap up the road portion of the schedule when
the Crusaders face Marist, the newest addition to the PFL, and Jacksonville.
Valpo then closes the campaign with back-to-back home games against Campbell and Morehead
State, the latter being
Senior Day on November 21.
On December 5, the PFL
champion will host the Northeast Conference champion in the fourth annual
Gridiron Classic.
The Crusaders are set to open
spring practice on Monday, and will work out every Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
and Saturday through April 25, with the exception of Saturday, April 11. The weekday practices will be from 3:30-6
while Saturday practices run from 10 a.m. through 12:30 p.m. Valpo will hold a modified version of a
spring game at Brown Field on April 25 to wrap up spring practice.
