Chaffey faces tough tune-up

Area college football fans can get their first look at the 2008 Chaffey Panthers this week. Coach Carl Beach's team will play an exhibition scrimmage at 11 a.m. Friday at Grigsby Field against Palomar College.

Beach said he has played that foe the last several years in a practice game.

"They're usually a very good team with some size," he said. "You always want to play someone that is pretty competitive so you can see how you stack up. And it's a not a team in our conference or one that we're going to see during the season. It just seems to work for both of us so why change it."

There will be no admission charge.
