While the Indiana teams have already started, much of the rest of the conference start play this weekend, Denison in Wakefield Indiana against Calvin, The Gators go against St. Mary's (MD.), Kenyon against Wilkes, Hiram against Elms, Wittenberg against Cairns, And Depauw plays Manchester.

OWU starts Monday against  Moravian.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all teams traveling to Florida or other far off destinations. May they all be safe during there journeys.

At least one typo. They list Kevin Zullo as pitcher, and newcomer of the year, but they list his School as Wooster.

I used to take that for granted, but after the Bluffton baseball tragedy, the Mount Union wrestling tragedy, and even the Mount baseball bus fire, yes indeed prayers for everyone travelling.  Safe travels to all.

Ever since the Bluffton Tragedy, I always worry a bit about all the teams traveling. Many take a Bus down to Florida or Other areas. They travel pretty much non stop. Always worried a little while son was traveling down. Rule was when he got settled in text us to let us know he made it.

[Dr. Acula]

I don't recall what the breakdown was between schools driving or flying back when I was in school, but it sure seems like a lot bus now.  We flew down all 4 yrs. I played, but I think they've been busing for a number of years now.  I'd much rather fly.  I don't even drive to Chicago or Nashville from Columbus now!

No travel is 100% safe but the numbers for air travel and road travel are comparable and a very small percentage of those who travel.
