Golf outing kicks off S. Putnam Quarterback Club activities

South Putnam football will take on hunger relief this summer and fall. Eagle players (from left) Ryan Chestnut and Justin Bumgardner and coach Troy Burgess are reminding fans that the team will be accepting non-perishable food items at all events this summer and at all home games. These items will be donated to local food shelters.

The South Putnam Quarterback Club and the Eagle football team will be sponsoring a number of fundraising and community outreach events throughout the summer, kicking off with the June 24 Quarterback Club golf outing.
