Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

Spent most of the game standing near the endzone opposite the scoreboard but also some time on the visitor side and SU fans were very vocal in their unhappiness with the officiating but I also noticed what seemed to be unusually heavy sideline "banter" between the teams as referenced by PA_wesley fan.

Possibly naive on my part but I never had the feeling Wesley was in jeopardy during the game.

I do believe there were more people on the two sidelines than there were in the stands.

i can honestly say that i didnt notice anything out of the ordinary between the 2 teams as far as tuanting or banter and i was also standing in the end zone opposite the scoreboard. this is always a high spirited game and wesley was just as animated in thier actions. i had a salisbury fan standing next to me and all he did was complain about how cheap wesley plays. guess it depends on whose side you are cheering for. what i am always surprised by is how the salisbury head coach does not get flagged for all the histrionics that he does on the field complaining about calls agains his team. as far as the officials, I think they missed the salisbury runner stepping out of bounds on the long td run. from where i was standing i thought he may have stepped out twice, pretty sure near the 20. the lead official on that side was running down the sideline so he had no chance of seeing it and there were so many bodies flying around and on the sideline that the trailing official almost certainly had his view blocked. there is no excuse at all for taking unsportsmanlike penalties due to the other teams taunting or tactics, point to the scoreboard and walk away.

Despite the in the heat of the game posturing, it was nice to see both teams come together and take a knee at the end of the game. Maybe some of the fans could take a hint from that and do the same. When the game is over, its over. Go back to life as we know it and remember that it is just a game.

Prayers to the Knapps.

I do agree that the Wesley players need a litttle thicker skin when it comes to the trash talking. Obviously the opponents were not heard by the refs and the Wesley players were.. I just think that the Refs have to take care of the BS from the start!!

If your are out there in cyberland, We Plan on driving over to the game. I hope the Hawks will be up and ready, as this game has upset written all over it. Not to cast dispertions (sp?) on the west JawJa crowd, i sure would hate to lose to them than anybody.

DGP, yeah they are on the short list of folks I really hate losing to(BSC, Murvul, we never lost to Faulkner but I imagine that wouldn't be a good day either). Hoping the guys take care of business. We'll see you Saturday.

Go Hawks!

travels taking me to salisbury to see the E8 battle today. hoping for a good game but wont be stunned if salisbury wins the game easily. former acfc member has run over the E8 this year. Fisher is supposed to have a good defense, but can they handle the salisbury triple option. it is a nice day for a football game.

Wesley needs to get through today without any more injuries!!!! And Then get ready for Huntingdon. Prayers are still needed for young Ben Knapp . He has made some small progress.

Wesley 55-0 over Apprentice School
Held the Wolverines to a season-low 270 yards offense, but gave up too many short field opportunities. Wesley scored 20 points in a 2:55 span of the second quarter to jump out 27-0.
Good luck Wesley --
Teamski -- hope you got a little feeling in the hands after the windy fun on top of our press box.

Solid win for the Hawks today, 45-10 over LaGrange. First half was kind of nerve wracking as we scored two quick TD's the first three minutes or so of the game then muddled about the rest of the first half and ended up 14-10 at halftime. Fortunately we came out and had a strong third quarter to pull away.
Anxious to see what we can do at Dover next week! Go Hawks!

nnasid, nice to hear from you. sorry i didnt make it but i chose to take the shorter ride and see the salisbury - fisher game. appreciate the insight into the game from the other sides point of view. if it was as windy as it was in salisbury, 25 - 30 mph all game, then i am sure teamski was frozen.

great to see yall today, good to beat those folk. Not to cast dispersions, but they are not the nicest crowd.

I was worried early, but the second half went well. We would need our second half today, our first half against HSC, a bunch of good calls by the refs, no mistakes, and a bunch of Wesley mistakes to make it a good game. We shall see.

hopefully i will see yall again before too long.
keep the faith

Well......not much to say here. Seems like Wesley was always getting the ball in NNA territory which explains why the numbers are down (McSweeny just 83 yards in the air).....But they got the job done.

Next week is Huntingdon. This is the final hurtle of the regular season. If we come out and play Wesley Football, no one can beat us.

Keep praying for Ben. Seeing minor improvements everyday but he still needs all the help he can get.

You should of said Hi to me....It was still pretty cold out with the wind, but I survived. The sun helped out a bit.

I have to say that the staff and faculty at NNA are about the nicest people I have met at any school. They are just too damn friendly. Seriously, they are the most talkative and genuine people I have met. Each year, they are really happy to talk and share their company with you. Cudos!

Definitely, the first round of the playoffs starts next week for Wesley. I can guarantee you that the players are fully aware of it as well! I know Huntingdon will be showing up to play as well, but I believe the gloves are off for this one.
