Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

Well with all the ways Wesley could go up north...I mean my goodness you can't go 10 miles without knocking into a D3 school

Seriously it does seem to hurt you guys as your non-conference games are Waynesburg (region 2), Averett (Region 3), Seton Hill (Region 2), Huntingdon (Region 3), Chowan ("d2") Morrisville (Region 2). So you only get your conference games as "regional" (other than us)

Salisbury on the other hand has W&J (2), CNU (3), Montclair (1), St. Peter's (1-AA), Widener (2) so they get an extra one with Montclair over you guys.

njlincolnlion,

I would like to meet you at the Montclair game. My daughter went to Wesley for a year and a half. Left after the fall semester in 2001. Graduated from MSU with a degree in Psyc and a minor in Soc 2005. Now a 1 year vet with the Circle Of Care as a Social Worker and ready for her Masters in Jan 07. I'll be at the Train Station Tailgating when Salisbury comes in. You are welcome for a burger, dog, and a beer !!!

LET'S GO MIGHTY RED HAWKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rams1102:

Thanks for the invitation, and I'll take you up on the beer 'N burger

. I'm planning on going to the game. It'll be my first trip back to MSU since my alma mater lost to the Red Hawks in Baskeball at Panzer three years ago. I sure you didn't miss that long drive from North Jersey to Dover after your daughter transferred. My daughter who should graduate in December almost took a course at MSU over the summer. She ended up taking the course at Baruch, since she had an internship at Time Warner.

It should be a great game between the Seagulls, and Red Hawks. I hope the game day weather is great for both football and tailgating!

Blazze19:

You are right with Salisbury being an excellent school, and the out-of-state tuition is a killer! It looks like my daughter will graduate in December, and it can't come too soon

. I was hit with with "out-of-state tuitionitis" twice since my oldest daughter graduated from UDel in 2002. Both daughters were accepted to TCNJ, Butgers (New Brunswick) to name a few NJ schools, and they both opted to go out-of-state

.

I'm heading down to the "Bury" Friday to drop her off back at University Village, after spending two years at the "Old Zoo", on South Division St.

PA Wesleyfan,

I posted about the new administrative region thing on the SCAC board.

Currently, Wesley can get "in-region" games by three of four methods.

The most common consideration in D3 is the Conference. The ACFC is not an officially recognized conference (and never will be under current by-laws).

South Region opponents--teams from the South Evaluation Region

Administrative Region 1 opponents -- schools in the state of Maine, NH, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut plus New Jersey, Delaware (of course) Maryland and the District of Columbia .

Finally, any school within a 200-mile radius, especially in Pennsylvania.

PA_wesleyfan · August 24, 2006, 04:50:43 PM

Thanks Ralph.
I wasn't sure at first that Wesley kept the south region as well as the new region
BUT Now that my baseball coaching duties are done. I can get into the SEASON at hand. And pay more attention to FOOTBALL

PA Wesley fan,
How does things look for next week's first game against Waynesburg?
II also noticed that W&J plays Salisbury which are in Wesley conference which doesn't happen much especially in same week.

I won't be seeing Wesley play until the 9th against Averett. Waynesburg will probably have to withstand an early barrage from Wesley. It will be family day at Welsey and there will be a huge crowd. Wesley will be quick again and they have a lot of skill people coming back. Marcus Lee is an outstanding talent and very hard to stop. And I see Alpha Korona at H back having a breakout season. Chris Warrick at QB is a 4 yr starter and should end up breaking whatever records there are left. The D is swarming and returns all american FS Mario Harris and DE Bryan Robinson. Wesley rotated 7 or 8 linemen last year so they have a good bit of experience there too.

PA WESLEY FAN,
THANKS FOR THE REPLY.....THAT DOES SEEM REAL IMPRESSIVE, I THOUGHT I HAD READ THAT THEY HAD ONLY 11 STARTERS RETURNING???ALOT OF LETTERMAN THOUGH OUTSIDE OF STARTER'S.
IT APPEARS THE QB HAS HAD GREAT CAREER THERE WITH SOME IMPRESSIVE NUMBER'S. THE CROWD ALSO SHOULD HAVE THEM FIRED UP AS WELL.
THEIR WINS IN PLAYOFFS WERE IMPRESSIVE TOO. WONDER WHY COACH FROM WC WENT OUT OF CIONFERNCE TO PLAY WESLEY AT WESLEYI N FIRST GAME IS MAYBE A MYSTERY. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE FIELD TURF TOO??WHICH SHOULD MAKE FOR A FAST TRACK IN HOPES THE DAY IS SUNNY AND DRY.
I AM PLANNING A TRIP TO OCEAN CITY FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND MAY STOP BY AN SEE GAME.

When you score as many points as Wesley did last year alot of kids that wouldn't get any time played which can only help in the long run. And as far as only 11 starters returning you are right. Wesley rotates 2 or 3 kids at each position. So they have a good amount expereince .

AC24#724 · August 29, 2006, 07:55:15 AM

PA. WESLEY FAN

YOU HAVE A GOOD POINT THERE, ALL EXPERIENCE IS VALUABLE. WC RANKED 4TH IN CONFERENCE IN PRESEASON POLL IN PAC. WITH W&J PLAYING SALISBURY AT HOME THE OPPOSITE TWIST. CALLS ARE REAL HARD TO COME BY AT CAMERON STADIUM, PROBABLY THE SAME AT WESLEY.

HOPE THE WEATHER STAYS RIGHT, ANY EARLY FORECAST FOR GAME DAY?

Pa Wesleyfan ---

I know you probably want an update on Wesley's scrimmage Friday night at George Mason.

Well, the lights went out twice in the 2nd half, stalling a the game a bit waiting for them to warm up, but the Wolverines prevailed 43-9. (Mason, a club team, counted it as a game.)

The offense did well, shaking the rust off. They still have a few things to brush up on (penalties) but here are my overall observations.......
QB: Warrick is Warrick, no worries there. Schatz will back up again and play some receiver too.
WR: Marcus Lee did not play, but should be ready for this week's opener. Mike Clarke picked up the slack catching a long TD pass and another 50+ yarder. He will fill the void left from Beavers and Gore departing.
TE: Lanouette looked like he hasn't missed a beat, coming off the injury and the position change. Made a couple of big plays down the middle of the field and a athletic grab in the red zone to set up a score.
RB: A position to be excited about, a lot of great young talent (2 or 3) here to push Koroma for the starting job. I don't know all there names yet, but they made several big plays, including a 80+ kickoff return.
OL: Coming together, a couple of new starters but Bauer, Erdman and Sfumurri return.
I'll give you more on the defense later.
