Congrats to Blake Elliot from this Purple Raider alum.  Well deserved.  Why Borchert isn't getting love is unbelievable. 

My understanding is that Maloney was the #2 behind Beaudrie when the season started, and his injury elevated DeShields.  DeShields, IMO, saved the season with his outstanding play and his contributions to the success of the MOunt season cannot be understated.

If Mount Defense plays Jan 5 like they did today, they may need 72 to win...

Beaudrie listed as starter on two deep game notes....

Final word is that the buffet WILL BE OPEN tomorrow from 10 to Noon

As a news source, D3.com has been nothing short of professional, honest, fair, and have gone beyond to get things correctly.  They, IMO, have always demonstrated the highest integrity in their reporting.

Weather forecast for Saturday....clear with a high of 29 degrees

As the D3 pundits predicted, Salisbury mistakes could doom them and they did.  Fumble =TD, Running into kicker=TD and fumble stops a promising drive. Fourth down stops game Mount field position and a FG. Mount took advantage. 

Johns Hopkins held MHB to practically nothing rushing, I hope Mount cleans things up as they could not run against the Seagull defense.  The D did a great job adjusting to Salisbury option game after the first drive. Well done Mount defense.  Great team win, don't pay attention to earlier JHU loss to Salisbury, this is a different and improved team.

Happy for Waddle.  He has earned it. 

Beaudrie was involved in pregame warmups and looked ready to go. He moved well and passes were spot on. I noticed when the team returned to the locker room before kickoff, he sprinted to the sideline from the middle of the field.  From this observation, I would guess that he could serve as a starter or back-up.

FYI, the high school game between Marion Stein Local and Coldwater had a 50/50 drawing of over $ 22,000.  Both teams won state championships this weekend, but Marion won this matchup 35-0.

An even more amazing stat about that 74-0 playoff score, the clock runs after 30 or 35 point spread, so there was no clock stoppages in the second half...

I second the congrats to Mike Elder for getting over the Hoban hump and winning the state championship. Mike is a really good guy and his program is one of the finest in Ohio, year in and year out.

Thanks BlueStreaks70.  From the first time we played JCU, I believe at Brush High School, I have always been looking forward to playing JCU. You beat us that day with a D1 QB transfer. The Streaks  always brought the best out in the Raiders, because we respect the effort and class with which they always played.  I doubt Mount will schedule you in the future as most in power are still stinging from your leaving the OAC, however, keep making the post season and we will look forward to future match-ups. I believe the 3OT thriller 20 years ago was the best game I have seen since the early 70's when I attended Mount Union as a student.  The basketball rivalry has also been a great watch the past few years. I look forward to you possibly getting B-W on the schedule as an opener in the future. It would be good for the fans and for the pocket of the Athletic Departments.
