Under the helm of General Manager, Jerome Davis and Head Coach James Moreland, PSC purr their way out of Forsyth County and embraces welcoming fans and returning players as they prepare for their season opener.
PSC makes it very clear Arena Football is on the rise and it should be considered as a path for most players to pursue as they continue to work towards a college scholarship or draft potential for major league football. Head Coach Moreland says, "he got his start playing arena football under GM Jerome Davis." Davis is praised among many for his relationship building on and off the field and his various outreach programs within the organization that helps cultivate players coming from different social economic backgrounds.
PSC will have their season opener away matching up against the Alabama Empire on April 10th. The coaching staff have already projected a victory because of returning player Jeremiah Jones #3 aka, Turnover Machine. Jones is a cheetah on the field and his robust speed as a jack linebacker holds the defense in place to insure a victorious win for the PSC.
The first home game will be April 16th against Tennessee Knoxville Knightmare. PSC wants to feel the love from the Suwanee Community by encouraging all families to come out for their first home game, some good food, clean fun and arena football!
