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.

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!

Ski - I thought that was you ... I spoke to you at halftime when you were enjoying a break from the wind inside the box...made the crack about welcoming Wesley with the usual weather for an Apprentice-Wesley game ... windy windy and more windy....

Far as McSweeny's numbers -- didnt seem to have the pinpoint touch that I have seen from him in the past...granted 25-30 mph winds coming cross ways probably had a touch to do on that.

Thanks for the kind words -- always enjoy talking to Coach Drass, Coach Azz. and the radio duo of Sean and Jason.

Doh!  Of course, I should have known. It was a pleasure to talk with you.  You are completely correct on the weather link between NNA and Wesley.  There is never a game between the two without some strong wind, clouds and sometimes rain.  Maybe we should schedule for the beginning of the season, hey?

no issues with the yardage totals.  touchdowns by the defense limit the offensive touches.  wesley has a big game this weekend against huntingdon.  the defense seems to have cut down on the mistakes in the secondary with the d line and lb's as good as anyone.  the offense is productive, they do not have the big name playmakers like the past couple of years but they are getting the job done.  special teams has shown great improvement since the kean game when they could not have been any worse.  with the results from yesterday, it looks like they will get to host a game in week one.  with a win, they will likely travel to jhu for week 2.  umhb would likely be next, but mcmurray may have something to say about that.  if mcmurray wins then wesley would host the south region finals.   of course all of this depends on a win this weekend.

Good to see you as well NNA.  That's always one of our favorite trips.  BTW if you haven't tried the calamari at what used to be called "The Pub" (Now Park Place I believe) across from Hampton Coliseum, it's worth a trip.  A rare break in the "Great BBQ Tour of the South".

As for the Dover wind: At least there won't be sleet.

I dont know if Dover knows the meaning of calm wind

Hehehe....It does exist, however it seems as if football game days are expressly excluded from the calm list.  Call it nature's cruel joke.

Unfortunately, you missed the "breezy" in that forecast which will be the case according to Accuweather.

It will be a good game for sure nonetheless!

National Weather Service hasn't added the wind part to the forecast yet, probably in the next couple of days. I think it will be a good game too. Wish I could be there.

hawks88, looking at the hawks stats it looks like they would rather throw the ball than run it.  wesley is much better against the run so that may give the hawks a chance.  if they can not run the ball at all which is a possibility then they will have to be real good to have a chance.  also, the defense gives up well over 300 yards a game which will be too much against wesley.  i know the game was a good one for a half last year before wesley took control, i think that is what will happen again.  i also know that the game is good for both teams and hope they will continue to play, but the travel may dictate otherwise.  if anyone is traveling, be safe and enjoy your stay in dover.

How the hell do they not call that? The fullback was falling forward at the snap!
4th and 2 play for Wesley and they score on the play.

[Hawks88]

Getting ugly, 27-0 early 2nd qtr.

Huntingdon self-destructing now. Fumbled snap on a punt, now 34-0.

Interception at HC 38. Our line is just being dominated a this point. Offense can't do anything.

Defense doesn't have too many answers either. 41-0, 6:00 left in 2nd.

[Hawks88]

47-0 early 3rd. Wesley making a statement today. Can't make so many mistakes when a great team shows up determined and ready to play.

[Hawks88]

54-13 final in Dover. Thankfully Wesley started subbing early in the 3rd.
Disappointing end to a good season, we'll be pulling for Wesley, Trinity and Hampden-Sydney to advance deep into the playoffs.

Go Hawks!
