MONTGOMERY, Ala. – With just 10 days remaining before the kickoff of the 2018 season with the second annual Labor Day Classic, Alabama State head coach Donald Hill-Eley met with the media at ASU Stadium Wednesday morning.

Eley was joined by Tuskegee head coach Willie Slater to discuss the game and preparations that have taken place over the last two weeks for both teams. The Golden Tigers defeated Alabama State 14-6 last season, but this will be the first meeting with Tuskegee for Eley who was named head coach after a 5-1 run as the interim coach last season.
