NACOGDOCHES, Texas - Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks head baseball coach Donnie Watson has announced the scheduling of a mandatory meeting for all prospective and returning players for 2008.
The meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. on August 30 in the Ready Room located in the SFA Athletic Field House for all scholarship and returning players. Prospective walk-ons will be required to meet at 6 p.m. in the same location. The field house is located on the north end of Homer Bryce Stadium.
