Congratulations to Majors on a great season after the slow start. Good luck in the playoffs.

[Ron Boerger]

Yep, congratulations to the Majors!  Looks like you made Trinity play your game all day.  Good luck in the playoffs ... and represent the SCAC well!

[DPULefty22]

Unreal. Never did I think I'd see Trinity lose such a big game in such blowout fashion. Big ups to the Majors - represent the SCAC well in the playoffs!

Congrats to the Majors. Sounds like it was a good game.

Rhodes beat Sewanee today in a great game on the mountain. The Lynx struck first on a fumble return by Desmond Hendricks just :30 into the game. Sewanee messed up the snap, Hendricks picked it up and ran the short distance into the endzone. Then later in the first, the Rhodes offense finally put together a drive that ended with a 4 yd run by Ty Lake for the TD to make it 14-0 Rhodes. It had the makings of a blowout, but this is a rivalry, so anything can happen.

Sewanee started to get an offensive drive going, but a fumble inside the Rhodes 15 yd line was recovered by Rhodes. The defense was great. They forced 3 turnovers in the first few drives and got the offense good field position, stopped some big drives, and put some points on the board. The Sewanee running game got moving and between Wes Satterfield and their running back, they gave the Lynx some fits. Constantly running to the outside and getting the offense going. They scored a TD on a long pass from Satterfield where he scrambled around for what seemed like days then finally chucked one to the endzone and was caught for the TD. It looked like a miracle play that you sould see at the end of the game, not midway through the 3rd quarter.

Rhodes defense held strong on a 4th and 3 from their own 26 yd line late in the 4th. That became the play of the game. Satterfield rolled right looking for an option and the defense swarmed and got the stop. That gave Rhodes the ball, they punted and put the Tigers deep in their own side of the field, then never got gonig on their last drive. Rhodes went for it on a 4th and inches with about 1 minute left and converted. Then just kneeled on the ball and started the celebration.

Let me post my appreciation for Wes Satterfield. That is one of the best student atheletes that I have seen in a long time. He made plays that never should have been made, and towards the end, you could see that he was playing his last game and refused to lose. He will defeinately be missed at Sewanee and was a class act. I saw a couple Rhodes coaches go up to him specifically after the game and congratulate him on his career. He deserves full respect for the way he plays and what he did. A shame that the season couldn't have gone better for him, because he faught as hard as he could today, and I'm sure he did the rest of the season. Good luck to him in whatever he does in the future.

Go Lynx. Thanks to the players for bringing the Orgil Cup back home to where it belongs, IN MEMPHIS!!

These eyes have never seen a Millsaps team dominate the way they did today.  Special teams played a big role, but Millsaps controlled the ball on offense and ate some clock.  The Majors' defense confused Trinity's offense and poor Jacob Cannon spent the majority of his afternoon on his back.  Trinity was never in the ball game.  It was a great atmosphere on a great day! Trinity is a good football team, but Millsaps this year was too tough to beat. 

More later.........
