Yeah, I don't believe they are.

Huntingdon and LaGrange would be in region for Wesley. On the open dates page the dates don't look like they match up though. Too bad. Huntingdon and Wesley have played each other before and I wouldn't mind seeing that match up renewed.

Wesley is playing Lagrange this year.. Don't know when and where yet. That certainly helps as an in region game and also gives Wesley a couple of tough n on conference games with CNU in the mix.
Hopefully they'll get that tenth game..

Ga. is only a little off the runmway at Dover  if you make a wide enough go round you could catch a little from the air!!

Yeah right, hehehehe.....  I heard that Wesley is looking at a change in conferences sometime in 2010 or 2011 with a possible Capital Athletic Conference involvement.  I sure hope Wesley finds a home where every game counts.  They are having problems again this year finding regional opponents.

I hope the Capital AC rumors are real and substantive, and not just echoes of my musings on these web sites.   

I can see how it might work.  However, what is conceivable and what is do-able are different.

Especially with the way money being tight. I read an article that the SUNY schools are getting 10 % less from the state of N.Y. That could have a trickle down effect.

It's hard to get an in region game with a PA school when noone within 4 hr drive(which puts you outside the 200 mile range)  will  play you..

  This is not football related but Andrew Geyer a Wesley student and member of the golf team was killed by a suspected drunk driver while visiting West Va Univ. over the weekend..

A real sad loss.  And, to a repeat offender to boot.... My heart goes out to his family.

Hood gets a new Fieldturf surface for soccer, field hockey and lacrosse.

There is no mention of football.

Unfortunately Stevenson never released anything after either... I don't know of any other irons in the fire for the ACFC either..

Hoopsville tonight...

Stevenson's board to vote on adding football at the May meeting.

I am optimistic.

The dean at Stevenson is an old friend of mine!

I would guess it would be another three years before Stevenson is ready to compete on the varsity field. And with Gallaudet commited to the NAC for now it would seem that the CAC won't have enough teams to woo others for an auto bid.  That doesn't help Wesley's short term problems in scheduling.  I am sure you have seen my posts in  General issues about the teams who just flat out won't play Wesley. I don't know how you fix that problem. Maybe you give Wesley in region status in all of Pa and Ny. Though most of the teams in Pa are in the south region or close enough for the 200 mile rule. And the New York teams have been asked to play non region games with Wesley and all have passed to this point. Springfield and Hartwick  from the E8 both have declned offers from Wesley to play. And that there isn't much of a chance that Wesley and or Salisbury will soon be in a conference that fills out their schedules. I omit Frostburg because everyone that turns down Wesley ends up scheduling them instead.    Says something right there!

I understand that the Capital AC bylaws require a school to compete in the sport, if the conference offers that sport.
