While everyone in the Kenyon Lords program envisoned a different outcome regarding the final record. It would be inaccurate to declare the Lords team as disappointing. Rather, the actions of a few, largely impacted their squad. I am extremely proud of the effort, and character of those coaches, and  players who fought thru the adversity. 

My Congratulations go to the Wooster Squad on an Outstanding Season. I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, during a discussion of Capital's team. It was noted that they seemingly are a very lucky team.
Winning many games in the final minute or so of regulation or ot.  After hearing post game comments, and reading this mornings Columbus Dispatch; the real anwser presented itself. First- You make your own luck. Second they plan for it. Third they stick to the plan Fourth the practise the plan Fifth they don't panic and the expect the plan to work.


Seems so Simple........ but  Execution...........

Oh, and Senior leadership sure is a Blessing.

Hey Pat: What is this Karma thing , and how does it get acquired, earned, awarded?

RE: ALL NCAC tEAM

Congratulations to all of the Honorees.

You"ll all exemplary both on and off the court. Soak it in for a little while.

As a Kenyon supporter, I am particularly proud of Bryan,Dave, and JT.

As a newbie, I can't comment regarding pre 07' selections. I decided not to go back and research.

Rather, I wonder if you can extrapolate from the names, schools, and class yr. about the future.

Now isn't the time for this topic, but maybe following the Tournament.

I would like to see the NCAC Conference continue to improve overall, further I would love to see them rule the Great Lakes Region. There is no shortage of Talent and Coaching. For now, Go Wooster!

PS: Hi CC, Sophie, Cam.

Sounds like it was a great game last night. I was not able to attend. It was a great season and tournament for the Teams and the Conference. I agree with Brian's comments, Wooster has shown that they truely are not just the Conference Champs; but the best squad to represent us ( NCAC & Great Lakes) all in the Tournament.

Best of Luck.... Your re playing for us all.

Bring Home some Hardware.

Congratulations to the Wooster team.

Congratulations to the Kenyon team. I've enjoyed watching you guy's, and you had a great season.
Take away the important elements and build upon them.

My apologies gentleman.

Y not I  Bryan   I not E Coach

Also of Note, Word on the Grapevine is,  Kenyon plans to send multiple buses for Students to attend the Game.

if they do, I think it is a brillant idea on someone's part; probably thier AD. No reason all teams, and all students shouldn't

be there to witness and support thier squad.

Last night in the first half was the first time in watching the Lords this year where I sensed a confidence level that said "we know we're better than <insert opponent here>" and they played like it. 

Brian: I liked it, it's applicable, so I used it.

Throw in that Kenyon has the leagues best player (Yelvington) and two very good seniors (Yelvington & Knapke) that will not want to see their careers end, and Friday's game is very much in doubt in my opinion.

Minor correction: Four Seniors: Yelvington, Jolson, Arce, Bediako; Knapke and Clair are Juniors

Brian's time away from the court did offer valuable playing time and the opportunity for the other Post players to hone thier game. They now can play a Four Man rotation in the Paint. Further, 3 additional guards sharpened thier skills thru the final games. Every man of Kenyon's Thirteen is waiting for Coach Croce to say "GO"

Can't wait for the weekend!

Congratulations to all teams that advanced last night.

It is still a wide open tournament.

Any one of these teams can Win It! There is "NO CLEAR FAVORITE" in my humble opinion.

Just read last nights comments,tough room; sort-a sorry I was out and about and missed it live.

History & Traditions should not only be "Noted, Observed and Celebrated", but also Congratulated.
Traditions+Experience+Execution+a dash of luck=Success

Now everyone knows things change, here comes the weekend. Tighten up the chin straps. Heads and Eyes Up.

Smile and Enjoy.

Good Luck

Can Visitors wear white on the road?
Ahead things are really looking balanced.

The excitement level around the League certainly is building.....
Great fun to contemplate and theorize over.
Another offered, "A team isn't measured by thier work/performance on a great day! but rather; the absolute guaranteed
minimum on thier worst day."

Let's enjoy this weekends games, good luck to all.

It's all part of the journey.

Happy Valentines Day.  Keep Smiling & Go Lords

Congratulations go out to the Oberlin Squad. With many of thier players doubling,tripeling, thier average outputs.
Storyline simply this: Kenyon squad shoots low percentage with matching output . 50 points.
Particularly impressed with Gary, Tompsett, Dilworth.
Kenyon needed more production from the Total Team.

Tough Loss for the Lords. However, it seems the Lightning Bolts were striking elsewhere in the Conference as well.
Still a ways to go into the tournament. Certainly there will be a few more twists in the plot.
