Four days after completing 2010 spring football workouts the Sam Houston State University football team gathered again to take on a new assignment.
The team gathered at Eastham-Thomason Park near downtown Huntsville to assist the city in several projects including painting exposed piping and trash cleanup.
The project is one of many community service undertakings for Sam Houston State student athletes.
"The motto of Sam Houston State University is one of General Sam's favorite sayings - 'the measure of a life is its service.' The football team and all student-athletes at Sam Houston enjoy giving back to the community," Bearkat head football coach Willie Fritz said.
Student-athletes from all 16 varsity sports teams engage in various community service functions during the year. Projects include a mentor program with Huntsville Independent School District, canned food drive benefiting the The Good Shepherd Mission, Rita B. Huff Animal Shelter fundraiser and the pop tab drive for M. D. Anderson Cancer Center / Ronald McDonald House.
