The Aztecs first practiced in the morning at Burleson Centennial High School for the final time. After eating In-N-Out Burger, most of the team was able to enjoy time in the players' game room and hospitality suite at their hotel in the afternoon, before taking a team trip to Top Golf.
While most of the team was practicing, Desmond Bessent, Keoni Stallworth, Trenton Thompson and Andrew Wickens visited Cook's Children's Hospital. The players and members of the SDSU dance team brought gifts to the patients of the hospital, and also played games with the patients.
Later in the afternoon, Turner Bernard, Garrett Binkley, Temerick Harper, Cameron King and Liam King each participated in the American Red Cross Home Fire Campaign in the Community.
