Huntingdon beats Faulkner, 21-7.

[AF4]

Ralph

much more  Faulkner team than last yr...  as much speed as we will see all season...probably

they held us...drove it down the field..methodically...then fumbled into the end zone

we took control from there on with a hardnosed running and passing...both from the spread

O line was awesome

the Hawks gotta get redy for league play in 2 wks

Go Hawks and keep the faith

Yes, a very good game by Huntingdon. 14-0 lead at half with a couple of chances to put it away in the 3rd and early 4th quarter but with penalties to kill drives and a missed field goal. Let Faulkner stay in it long enough to cut it to 14-7 with about 5 minutes left then Jamal Gardner busts loose for 70 yds on the second play after that to finally pretty much end it. Nice night for Gardner with 156 yds on 21 carries and two TD's.

Huge crowd in Cramton Bowl tonight. Box score says attendance was 3600? I don't think that's close to right. Had to be at least 5 or 6,000.

Congrats to fellow SLIAC members Blackburn and Eureka for also getting wins today.

Go Hawks!!

Mac played pretty well yesterday, only losing by 12 to Aurora 30-18.  They have made a huge jump already from last years team.  Keep workin hard Mac, you'll get that win.

Eureka looked good in the mud, beating Concordia (Chicago) 28-8.

We had about 5" of rain since Wednesday and it rained through most of the game. Eureka seemed to handle it pretty well while Concordia struggled. It was a bad sign for Concordia when on the opening kickoff their return man tried to back peddle to the ball, slipped and fell flat on his back 
Maybe having field turf to practice and play on is a disadvantage when you have to play in a mud bowl.

Eureka's defense played tough all day while the offense rolled up 304 yards rushing against Concordia's 138 rushing yards.

Congrats to Huntingdon's Mike Payson for being named SLIAC Defensive Player of the Week and Eureka's Nick Lindsey as the SLIAC Offensive Player of the Week.
