CLINTON, S.C. – With five days left until the Presbyterian College football team opens the lids on the 2026 season, the squad was showcased on Saturday evening at the annual Fan Fest event from Bailey Memorial Stadium, sponsored by Self Regional Healthcare.

The site of this Thursday's season opener against UVA Wise (kickoff at 7:00), PC welcomed the Clinton community for autographs, a meet-and-greet session, and a public practice.

Bailey Memorial's concourse was crammed with spectators and activities, enhancing excitement for a new era of Blue Hose football that begins next week.

Head coach Matt Rahl – promoted last December from his previous role as the offensive line coach – will lead the 114^th edition of PC football after aiding 16 combined wins in the past two seasons.

The Blue Hose will enter a new campaign with an active eight-game home winning streak, just two away from matching the program's longest streak ever (it's already the longest since 1980).


 


WORDS FROM COACH RAHL
 
"Today was a lot of fun. We always have a great turnout at this event every year, and having family members for our players and the community showing their support is an awesome sight."

"I'm excited for this Thursday, and I hope to see our stadium covered in blue to see what this new team is all about. We've got a talented group of hungry players, and we're ready to get the season underway!"
