Solid showing by Huntingdon and LaGrange!

I know that it is gratifying for them.  Those bus trips to St Louis should be a thing of anticipation this season.

Huntingdon College opened conference play in impressive fashion Saturday, setting a school record with 565 yards of total offense as it defeated MacMurray College, 49-20, at Samford Stadium.

Someone mailed me a HC football media guide this week. What a well done book.

Congrats to Westminster's QB Daniel Eidson chosen as the SLIAC offensive and special teams player of the week.

Eureka could move the ball and score on Westminster but couldn't stop their passing game.

Final score, Huntingdon 28 Greenville 12.
For most of the first two quarters our offense moved the ball pretty much at will and when we went up 28-0 it looked like we were on our way to an easy win. Greenville could have packed it in at that point but to their credit they kept fighting and did a good job of slowing our offense down the rest of the way. I think we did a good job of controlling their option. QB Kegel gave our D fits with the passing game all day but we made enough plays to keep their score down while our offense was struggling.
All in all a good win on the road. After a long ride home the Hawks will make the trip again next week to Eureka.


Go Hawks!!

brother.... i am glad The Hawks don't have to see Kegel again...... he is an awesome athlete

we had a tough time with a pass rush today.... i believe that is somthing Coach Hix, Mills, and Ansley are working on as we speak, and will fix

keep the faith

It was a good game. Both teams played very well in one half each, Huntindon in the first and Greenville in the second.  I think if Greenville recievers had even a little bit better of a game its a much different game.

The hawks are a great team and they travel to eureka this year... Eureka plays at home and they usually play alot better when they are at home...The game against westminster, taking nothing from them, but eureka was without 5 starters including argueably the best defensive player that they have in the sophomore cornerback that was suspended.. the offense is still a work in progress, the hawks could possibly be in trouble this week
