the Hawks will not take this game lightly...trust me... one at a time

the boy says the team and coaches are looking forward to the visit, seeing the Reagan museum, a piece of the 'Wall', having a good ball game against a good-well coached team,  a box chicken dinner, and a ride home... we will see

good luck... and...keep the faith

(by the way...is your moniker/name any association with the 60-70's rock group which featured peter frampton ?)

[AF4]

might be a real good game...this wk as Huntingdon had the offensive player of the wk (his second time around)

Sep 29-Oct 5 Justin Ridgeway Huntingdon Jr Frisco City, Ala./Excel
Huntingdon College's Justin Ridgeway, a junior from Frisco City, Ala. (Excel), has been named the SLIAC Football Offensive Player of the Week for the week of September 29-October 5. This marks the second time this season that he has earned the honor.

Ridgeway, a 6-3 quarterback, threw for a career-high 281 yards, while matching a career-best 66 rushing yards. He tossed a pair of touchdown passes, while completing 18-of-29 passes, good for a completion percentage of .621. Ridgeway also helped the Hawks remain undefeated at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the SLIAC with the 28-12 win on the road at Greenville.

and Eureka had the Defensive player of the wk (and was w/o several key players ....?)

Eureka College's Matt Knake, a junior from Freeburg, Ill., has been named the SLIAC Football Defensive Player of the Week for the week of September 29-October 5.

Knake, a 5-11 linebacker, recorded eight solo tackles, six assisted tackles and had 3.5 tackles for a loss of seven yards in a 26-13 victory on the road at Blackburn. He had a game-high in tackles and tackles for loss, while also recovering one of three fumbles on the day for Eureka.


this will b a good one, and Huntingdon must bring thier 'A' game

keep the faith

Eureka had all of its players this week against blackburn, but they were down 5 starters against westminster.  This will be a good game, hopefully eureka comes to play and is ready to take care of business

[humblepie]

haha no the name has nothing to do with the group. Its just something that more athletes ought to have nowadays and good luck to the hawks. It should be one heck of a game

[Andras Bacia]

It's going to be a tough one for Eureka when Huntingdon comes to town this weekend.
Looking at the SLIAC team stats Huntingdon is at or near the top in nearly every category. Eureka will need a complete effort from everyone who steps on the field, players and coaches.
Can they do it? I think so but they can't afford any mistakes.

[Hester23]

Note to the hawks,  ever since i can remember the red devils always play hard at home.  hopefully the speed of eureka's defense can slow down that running attack... i cant wait for this game should be a good one
Best of luck to both teams

[AF4]

it should b a good game... the Hawk defense is ...uh...well... not slow

the Eureka faithful appear to be good fans... this league is what Huntingdon has been looking for... good competition

i really thought the scac was going to include us, but they elected not to... the suggestion was that they wanted only sister colleges..with similar endowments...etc... so we were exculded... but then they let in Oglethorpe  ( a former member ..with Huntingdon of the non football playing GSAC)...and if u examine thier school (a fine institution, similar to Huntingdon....but less endowment...)  that pretty much blew that arguement out of the water

another potential theory for not letting Huntingdon into the SCAC was the suggestion that in the first now 6 yrs of football , the Hawks have gone 9-3 against SCAC football teams... but i am sure that one held no validity 

although i can not speak for anyone but myself... i am appreciative that SLIAC let us in when it re-formed for football...... Greenviile is and  a good team... they held Huntingdon the second half...and the Hawks could barely hold them.... no doubt Eureka is a good team... all u have to do is read about the Blackburn game...a great defense

Westminister and LaGrange will also b real, real tough... anytime u drop your guard or become overconfident teams like Principia or Blackburn will sneak up and beat you..... this is a good group, a fine conference

... in 2010...one of theses teams will b able to compete in the playoffs..... if not sooner... like the boy told me last week... 'no place we would rather b'

good luck to all, keep the faith, and Go Hawks

Except Oglethorpe has been in the league for decades. If they were trying to get in now I don't think they would get in either.

[AF4]

pat coleman guru-hero

you r almost correct...kinda... i would say Oglthorpe has been in the scac for decade...but i'd have to hold the 's' ... they joined  the SCAC in 1991 

minor point...but as usual ... your points are insightful and well taken

I doubt anyone at Huntington cares now.... as the  GSAC (in all but football) and the SLIAC (football) both show us some love 
LaGrange is a close play partner in both leagues...and Murrville is a member of the GSAC (in non football)

i still pull for the scac..and hope either Trinity or Millsaps (or both ?) can get into the playoffs and past the first round... (my older cousin- like an older brother- was cptain of the football team at Sewanee....unfortunatly he was lost in the 1967 Tet Offensive)

Huntingdon scrimmages Sewanee every yr (preseason...good for both and very friendly)..... unfortunatly Birmingham - Southern cancilled both J-V games with us for this yr....i believe thier reasons were ligit and due to numbers

keep the faith

17 years equals 1.7 decades equals more than one decade.

Wow . . . pretty dead in here.  Does anybody have any thoughts on the big game between MLC and NWC this Saturday?  I'm thinking it'll be a pretty high-scoring game with the way both offenses are playing so far?

[AO]

I would initially think it wouldn't be a close game based upon recent history between Martin Luther and how Northwestern has been beating up better opponents thus far this season, but after the Crown game it has been proven that any game could be close until the final whistle in the UMAC this year.  If Martin Luther is going to be successful, they're going to have to throw the ball effectively, and I don't see that happening.

[AF4]

pat...u r right...i am wrong...1.7 decades  emphasis on the 's'               
  .... ..or 0.3 decades shy of 2 decades....

what can i say...i am a product of a rural georgia education

thanks..and  keep the faith

[AF4]

Hawk win

first time in school history (1854....but football began 2003) the Hawks begin the second 1/2 of the season as 5-0


next wk Blackburn comes to Montgomery... congrats to them for beating Principia.... also congrats To LaGrange and Westminister for there wins today

good luck next wk to Eureka against Principia

go Hawks

[Hawks88]

Just got back to East Al from middle Il. Besides a couple of bee stings and an officiating crew that might have trouble with a junior high game, I think we got out of there pretty much unscathed.

Kudos to the Eureka concession stand on a really good pork chop sandwich by the way.

Fun trip over all but I am beat and ready for bed.

Go Hawks, take care of Blackburn for Homecoming next week.
