Wesley takes the ACFC Championship game over Salisbury, 30-12. The game was full of penalties (13 for 113 for Wesley) but it did feature an ultra rare 2 point conversion return when Marcus Wilson intercepted the ball in the endzone and ran it back....Some real oddities this year in special teams. First, the field-goal return by Del Val and Wilson returns a 2 point conversion. Interesting.

More to work on this week and then onto Lake Erie......

It was nice to see PA_Weselyfan and Wesleydad today!

That's wild. You all were right with Webber. Had a pre-game skirmish (more woofin than anything). Builders lose 17-14.
But ya know, when your rental car order gets messed up (booked by corporate for Newport News pickup instead of Orlando) and you get a convertible for the same price - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Big day for Huntingdon with a 51-13 win over LaGrange. Alex Baronich with a school single game record 287 yds and I think single season record 944 yds and 13 TD's on the season either ties or breaks the school record, not sure on that one. Keith Anthony with a school single game record 3 int's and school season record 8 int's.
Hawks jumped out to a quick 21-0 lead with 5:49 left in the first and never looked back. A very good game all round for the Hawks.
Looking forward now to the first ever match-up with Birmingham-Southern.

Go Hawks!

I was quite impressed by the Wesley D yesterday,,very aggressive .The officials left a lot to be desired ,,a couple calls really hurt Salisbury,,but they missed calls both ways,,and a lot of 5 yd penalties both ways,, Wesley d needed to watch the ball,, and Gulls O needed to know the count ,, but it was a hard hitting game,, fun to watch

thewaterboy · November 01, 2009, 06:03:00 PM

Sounded like a miserable day when it came to the weather. The D had another great performance but there were almost 100 yards in penalties (I am not counting the 15 yard penalty for Morgan leading with the helmet). Wesley needs to cut back on those if they want to compete at a higher level than they are but it seems that most of those penalties were on special teams and most of them were on the same person. A Jax and McSweeny both had 60+ yards on the ground which is good to see. It seems that McSweeny has been less accurate compared to last year, looking at INTs. The recievers havent helped much but he hasnt made that great of decisions on some of his passes. More to work on next week vs. Lake Erie.

But the Wolverines are still putting up 30+ points a game, and playing fantastic D, so you take em anyway they come.

wesleydad · November 01, 2009, 06:06:54 PM

good to see teamski and pawesleyfan at the game yesterday. Defensively, Wesley looks very good. Still quick to the ball and very athletic. Offensively, something is missing. Not much flow to the game yesterday with some bad interceptions. Aaron Jackson returning to form is a plus which will make it tougher on teams defensives. The penalties are very bad, too many personal fouls. The kick coverage was very poor and then they would compound it with penalties. Salisbury started too many drives near mid field. As I stated earlier, I hope the team has not peaked too soon on offense as they have the last couple of years. The next 2 weeks should be a good test for the offense. Lake Erie seems to have improved drastically from the team I saw last year when Wesley could have scored 70 on them. They held Salisbury to only 7 and have been tough late in the season on defense. Keep winning and play at home in the playoffs.

My appolgies to Mike Asiedu. He, not Marcus Wilson, returned the 2 point conversion against Salisbury. $:-\$

SU Backer · November 02, 2009, 03:14:18 PM

SU was just not as good as Wesley saturday....can't blame the officials.....it is what it is. They play very hard, and if they can eliminate the mental mistakes maybe they win out, but they are a notch below Wesley. They go down to play what appears to be a good Hampden Sidney unit this weekend. Can't get down there, but I would really like to see that game. Then they have the Regents Cup game against in state rival Frostburg @ home, which is always tough against us regardless of the records. My question is -does SU get a ECAC bowl game is they win out?...If they do they will finish 6-4 with some tough games in the loss column. Losing to the #3 team should not hurt them, as well as some quality wins-i.e. St. John Fisher, Union, which should help. I think they may deserve bowl consideration even if they go 5-5, but I am obviously biased. What do you all think?

SU Backer · November 02, 2009, 03:21:03 PM

oops....Hampden-Sydney (Sidney?...sorry)

That's a tough question to answer about the ECAC bid. I have seen them take teams over teams with better records but you never know who ends up sending in the paperwork to get bids. There have been cases where teams(coaches) haven't wanted to play.

SU Backer · November 02, 2009, 04:38:37 PM

I agree...one year SU went with a .500 record and wound up beating Delaware Valley @ DV....some don't think much of the ECAC bowls, but I disagree for several reasons. First it gives the team another week of practice and a extra game against a good team that they usually would not see, which helps the coaches and players that are returning the next season. Secondly it gives the seniors one more chance to play a game that 99.9% of them will never play again. And lastly it gives the parents one last time to watch their sons play the game that they love. It ends way too soon.....Go Gulls
