Clarksville, TN – With the first home softball games later this week, the Austin Peay State University (APSU) athletics department has announced the upcoming promotional schedule for the Governors’ 27 home games of the 2024 season.
After beginning their season with 11 straight road contests, the Governors begin a 13-game homestand with a Thursday 5:00pm contest against Kansas on Cheryl Holt Field at Cathi Maynard Park.
In collaboration with Clarksville’s Hometown Team and the Clarksville-Montgomery County Library, the Govs will host a book drive for the contest against the Jayhawks and also the three-day Governors Classic, March 1st-3rd. All books will be donated to the public library.
Austin Peay State University then hosts Saint Louis on its first day of the Governors Classic, with the contest – and all four of APSU’s four Friday home games – being a Red Out for See Red Friday! The first 50 fans will also receive glow sticks.
Throughout the Govs’ home games this season, Austin Peay State University has implemented daily themes such as Bingo Wednesdays, See Red Fridays, Sing Along and Swag Saturdays, and Signature Sundays.
Fans also will not want to miss the remainder of the APSU Govs first tournament, as APSU will be hosting a Dr. Seuss birthday party on Saturday, with there also being a bookmark-making craft station in celebration of National Read Across America Day. The following day, fans are invited to come dressed as their favorite book character when they come cheer on the Govs for a doubleheader.
After the Governors Classic, Austin Peay State University hosts Lipscomb for a StrikeOut Caner and PEAYnk out game on March 6th before preparing for the three-day Cathi Maynard Invitational, March 8th-10th.
The APSU Govs will be celebrating LeadHer and International Women’s Day on the first day of the tournament, with Greek and Taylor Swift Day the following day, and the tournament wrapping up with a father-daughter picnic on Sunday.
From the play on the field to numerous activities and giveaways each game, and much more, fans will not want to miss a single one of Austin Peay State University softball this season!
