WOW, Major Congratulations to the Delaware Valley College Aggies!!!  What a GAME!!!

[gordonmann]

Thanks, PBR.

Very, very impressive on defense today.  Kleinfelter held to 27 yards on 10 carries.  Getting a big lead early helped.

With all due respect Gordon, kleinfelder faced a real defense today and found, as other RB's have, that you can't run against DVC-they are a GREAT defense! Congrats to the Aggies for an outstanding performance today!

agreed gordon...the more this team plays the more they impress me. They have a very very good defense. Their offense can beat you through the air or rip you apart on the ground, pick your poison. Their OLine is very very good and opens gigantic holes for cook to run through or gives hatty so much time to pass. Very impressive all around team.

nice win by delval.  totally overmatched lycoming.  they controlled both lines of scrimmage the entire game.  they looked better on offense then the last time i saw them.  i predict that this team has a real, real good chance of making it to the east finals.  i have not seen montclaire play this year so i figure that they are about even by the other comments i have read.  if mount or wesley do not get shipped in then delval will be a 2 seed if montclaire goes unbeaten or a 3 if someone gets shipped in.  if they play to the level they played yesterday they will handle most teams until the final 8.  good luck the rest of the year.

true words here...no let down this week. Coming off and emotional week and big win over lyco. Hard to get emotionally up 2 weeks up a row like that, so its time to bring the lunch pail and go to work and take care of business.

Jeez, what happened to King's? It seems like we were just there yesterday watching Steven Wilson beat the heck out of Mike Warker.

A great day for football at Ralston Field 

When I first came to Wilkes, Lycoming was the team to beat in the MAC, and Colonels-Warriors is always one of the premiere matchups of the season for me. Today's game was no different.

Again, the young Colonels on the field were most impressive. Tate Moore-Jacobs had more tackles than I could keep track of, despite missing some snaps with an injury. Kevin Gerhart came up with the play of the day with his interception return for a TD. On offense, both Wilkes QBs kept making plays to keep drives alive, setting up the big plays from both tailbacks. It was a great all-around showing for Wilkes in all three phases of the contest.

As I have said since my freshman season, Lycoming is a four-quarter game, more so than perhaps any other team in the MAC. The Warriors kept coming today, and I am proud that the Colonels rose to the occasion on series after series. Today's result means that, by my count, Wilkes has won six of their last nine matchups with Lycoming. That's a result the Colonels should be proud of, not out of arrogance or boastfulness, but out of tribute to the quality of their opponent.

On a last note, while I am much further removed from the league than I was working for the Colonels, I really believe Moore-Jacobs has to be a front-runner for MAC Rookie of the Year, if not Defensive Player of the Year. Gerhart can also make a serious case for Defensive Player of the Year. I know some people are going to come out spitting fire and throwing names at me from a certain other MAC team, but I would put those two guys up against any other players at their respective positions in the league that I have seen.
