Mercer football schedule set
Mercer will have two non-conference home football games in 2019, but the road game is of note.
The Bears will end the regular season with a visit to the middle of ACC country, and North Carolina for a date with the Tar Heels.
Mercer opens the season with Southern Conference play and a trip to Western Carolina, then hosts Austin Peay. A conference visit to Greenville and Furman follows, and then a home game against former Atlantic Sun rival Campbell.
Southern Conference play then resumes in earnest.
Snitker happy with the current Braves
While many aren’t happy with their team and quiet winter baseball meetings, Brian Snitker is OK with the Braves as they stand.
