JONESBORO — One phase of preseason football preparations ended Thursday at Jonesboro with the annual spring game, although that hardly means a break for the Golden Hurricane. Third-year head coach Tyler George said the Hurricane will stay busy in June with 7-on-7 tournaments and team camps, including trips to Arkansas State and Ouachita Baptist. The work will resume in July after the Arkansas Activities Association dead period, which runs June 22-July 5. kAm“(6 <:?5 @7 <66A @?
