FB: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

Forgotten Man -- I think you're the only LaGrange fan on the board. Welcome!

(We had one earlier but he didn't get any takers for his LaGrange-to-the-Stagg-Bowl talk and I don't think we've seen him since.)

Not anymore.   I grew up in LaGrange and my parents are both LC alums, though I'm not all.  All the same, I grew up watching LC baseball and basketball, and if they'd had football back then, I'd have been at every football game too.  Glad to be on board, and looking forward to taking care of Huntingdon in a few weeks.

Welcome. It's been nice meeting locals at the games. Hope you can make it to this week's contest with Eureka College.

Alas, I live in Tallahassee...won't make it to a game this year.  I'm going to try to plan a trip next season.

at the end of the first quarter.....Greenville 15, Westminster 3

[AF4]

the Greenville Westminister game sounds like it played out as good as many figured

D-3 Scoreboard says Greenvile 29 Westminister 27...... i bet it was a good one

congrats to MacMurray for thier win

Both Lagrange and Huntingdon won (LaGrange dominated Eureka), and are heading toward thier show down in 2 wks

met some very, very nice folks from Principia, u have to admire them with such a small number of players, trying as hard as they do.....
everyone played a bunch

Sen Jeff Sessions (R-AL) was there at the game campaigning (he is a Huntingdon Alumnus), the al fish producers fed us Fried fish and Fried or boiled shrimp (the fried is somthing i am more famaliar with as i am a 55yr old southerner)

LaGrange has an off wk, Huntingdon must play HSC (a 1 loss ODAC team who had an off wk this wk) next sat in Montgomery

keep the faith

I am a Greenville alum and worked for the Football team during my time as a student.  I am now living in Washington State so obviously was not at the game.  From what I heard on the radio broadcast on my lunch break from work, it did sound like a pretty good game, back and fourth for alot of it. 

Greenville QB Kegal did get injured in the first half and had to sit out some time, it was good to hear he came back!  With the W today, they now sit at 5-4 with one game to go next week at Eureka.

Greenville is also affiliated with the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) and as of last week, were #3 in the nation for that.  As a result, the could still be in contention for the Victory Bowl.

Bad deal

HSC 38 huntindon 34.... they were just better ...no where to hide

next wk we have to rebound against LaGrange

bad thing is it is out on the table...HSC scouted us well, they were well prepared, well coached

we can stop almost anybody running the ball...we pretty much did today, but in the spread (like LaGrange runs, well) HSC killed us on short routes

Kegel did the same for Greenville, we just managed to score more

i worry about LaGrange

good luck HSC next wk

keep the faith

[Hawks88]

Very disappointing loss today. Our offense just seemed out of sync for most of the day until getting things going in the 4th quarter. I figured if we slowed HSC's running game like we did and got two or three int's like we did that we would have a real good chance to win. I just didn't count on us making #81 look like the next coming of Jerry Rice or something. Overall we just didn't play well enough to win, a few drops, a few over thrown open receivers and too many procedure calls at inopportune times just doesn't add up to a win against a good team. Hats off the Hampden-Sydney, hopefully you can win next week and get a bid.
We just have to forget this one and get ready for next week to go out and win the conference and with some help and some luck maybe we can get in too.

Go Hawks!!

[AF4]

good to see u today, Hawks88

81 did luck good..i thank he was about 10inches taller than our DB.... really

defence gotta figure stuff out before the LaGrange passing attck shows up

thanks for the Bruswick stew, my bride loved it

keep the faith buddy

[The Forgotten Man]

Sorry you guys lost to HSC in the end, but it sounds like it was a pretty close game in spite of it all.

Hope LC can keep you guys sufficiently challenged. Sounds like the boys are working hard to get ready for y'all.

[Hawks88]

Thanks, FM, it was definitely the most exciting game we've had in a long time. I'm still hoarse from all the yelling. It would have been really easy to give up when we were down 17 in the 4th qtr but our guys showed some guts fighting back the way they did. I felt like if we could have gotten the ball back at the end that we would have scored but they did a great job of moving the chains and running out the clock.
I don't think you have to worry about challenging us. I think the teams are pretty evenly matched and whoever makes the least mistakes will come out on top.

Go Hawks!

[AF4]

it was a good game..... we just got to fix the hole in our D...

HSC did a good job of scouting us and had a great game plan

we did fight back....but.... we gave too many mid range , well exicuited passes to tall recievers....unfortunatly that has been there all yr, and no one has exploited it this well

we will work it out and fix it, or...it will b a long drive hom from LaGrange

keep the faith

[AF4]

Congrats to LaGrange

i pray the selecton comittee wil see the wisdom of picking them to go to the playoffs

i hate that Huntingdon lost...but i am now rooting for the selection comittee to see how keeping this 'story book' season of LaGrange alive will be good for D-3 football

great first season for the SLIAC

Go Hawks (and Go Panthers if u get to go to mississippi)

keep the faith
