Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

[Ralph Turner]

Brockport and Morrisville will be gone.  There may be some openings in the MAC.  Huntingdon may not have to travel to Wesley.

The ASC precursor (the Texas Intercollegiate AA) played double round robin in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

Nice opener for Wesley....NCWC is definitely a tough bunch to start with.
Interesting all of their conference games are in the month of October

Whats the word now that those two are going to the NJAC???

Yah it does seem like a good test for Wesley. I don't think that they are going to be a depauw or a Waynesburg. Just a thought they might be tell me what you think about this comparison. Yes i also realize the difficulty for Wesley to get top notch opponents, hopefully that will change in years to come.

[Wesleyfan24]

Hopefully Wesley will be able to obtain one more opponent so they can have ten games and not nine.  Just the same problem they have every year maybe they will get a game closer than indiana, Maine, Alabama, or even somewhere in the midwest.  At least maybe we can see our kids play more games, some of us can't travel that far.

I know that Wesley has been a national power of late, yet I believe that NCWC will be a great test for both of these teams. NCWC has athletes all over the field, led by their QB. Last season they had a coming out party of sorts as they were able to beat conf. power CNU.

Last year was a gift for home games for Wesley... It doesn't always pan out to have all those games... I don't think you will see a tenth game at this point unless
someone comes knocking... I think in the late 90's they had only nine games twice.

N.C Wesleyan played a tough schedule last year so they are battle tested BUT that being said , they haven't played in the Wolverine's DEN yet!!!

I agree i also remember that a certain team from texas came up and though they showed their poise and ability to not be startled some how i have to think that even they didn't account for the fans and the adrenaline that the players feed off from with the big hits and the loud croud.  But i guess same could be said for Whitewater.  Good teams always come up with incredible fans that fully back their teams.  But hey who would have known Wesley would have won 25 of 28 games over the past 2 years.  (I did)

Wesley got some good news from the ncaa,  D-lineman Justin Strickland was given another year of eligibilty.

Just a note regarding the front page story about the draft. My son plays at Salisbury and he said that Byron Westbrook is Brian's brother, not his cousin. Anyway good luck to any player hoping to continue their career playing the game. Does anyone have any thoughts or heard anything at all about the future of the ACFC? With Brockport leaving and Morrisville deciding to not join, and Buff State's departure last year, it seems that the remaining conference members will struggle to fill 10 games. Looking forward to Albright in September! Go Gulls

I was told today by a knowledgeable source that Trey Blackmon, recently of Auburn University, and the number 1 ranked linebacker prospect in the country in 2004-05 had enrolled at LaGrange College following his recent suspension from Auburn and would be playing for LaGrange in the Fall.  Has anyone heard this and can either confirm or deny.

Not true according to this.
