Southern University Mitchell set to go 'Stumping Thru the South'

Although first-year Southern football coach Stump Mitchell has already earned a reputation as a workaholic — players and other coaches have noticed his car in the A.W. Mumford Stadium parking lot late at night and early in the morning — Mitchell has also become something of a man about town. During basketball season, he regularly watched games inside the F.G. Clark Activity Center. Last week, he threw out the first pitch at softball and baseball games, and for much of the past two months, he has checked in on Roger Cador’s team at Lee-Hines Field.

Saturday afternoon, Mitchell and some of his players volunteered their time and muscle, moving hurdles and equipment during the Davenport-Milburn Pelican Relays. For the rest of the month, however, Mitchell will become a man about several towns. Following through on a promise he made earlier this spring, Mitchell confirmed he’ll join the Southern University Alumni Federation on “Stumping Thru the South,” a tour through six cities in Louisiana and Texas later this month, with two more dates in May.
