Blinn will wrap up spring practices with annual Blue & White game on April 28

Blinn College football fans will get their first look at the 2017 team when the Buccaneers host their annual Blue & White game on Friday, April 28, at 7 p.m. at Cub Stadium in Brenham.

The game will mark the final team workout of the spring and will be free to the public. Cub Stadium is located at 1600 E. Tom Green St.

"We will pump up the tempo for the spring game to simulate how we will be next season," said Ryan Mahon, Blinn head coach. "Spring practice has been good for us and we have been able to figure out what players will fit into what position."

Blinn is preparing for a 2017 season that opens at Cub Stadium against Texas A&T on Saturday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. The Buccaneers will open the Southwest Junior College Football Conference on the road at Cisco College on Saturday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m.
