Quote from: UMHB03 on July 08, 2026, 06:25:04 PMHoward Payne finally found their 10th opponent. Something called Clutch City Preparatory, which I assume is who you're forced to call when Westgate Christian doesn't have any open dates. 

HPU Football Schedule

Clutch City is part of something called National Junior College Prep football league that is starting this season. I'm having trouble figuring out if there are any actual schools involved.
There's an entry from Alabama named Alabama Rays based in Gulf Shores, AL that just had 8 players arrested, so they're off to an inauspicious start.

The CCS is not included in the USA South flosports deal. Our home event streams will still be free.

Quote from: TLU05SA on July 08, 2026, 12:17:48 PMIf I recall correctly, Hendrix made its move shortly after Trinity and Southwestern announced their move to the SAA. I have read other posts on these boards that Hendrix was trying to avoid Trinity.

The whole SAA was formed by trying to avoid Trinity, so it makes sense that at least one original SAA member might still feel that way.

Hendrix's move to the SCAC was announced more than a year after Trinity and Southwestern's move to the SAA was announced (although they took effect at the same time). Ironically, Hendrix would have had to approve Trinity and Southwestern joining the SAA, because that conference requires a unanimous vote on new members.

Actually, it was Austin that originally joined the SAA with Trinity. At that point Southwestern joined the ASC. Eventually Austin went to the ASC and Southwestern to the SAA a couple of years later. It's all very confusing to keep track of. 

Carson Long named Head Men's Basketball Coach at Huntingdon. Graduate of Guilford and assistant at Hampden-Sydney the last three years. Seems like a really good hire.

Coming soon, I think. I assume the CCS would follow right along.

Huntingdon released their 2026 schedule today. Same as last season with the home and aways reversed. First time that's happened here.

Quote from: Hawks88 on February 20, 2026, 10:40:55 AMI was checking the CCS standings and have some fun speculation about one of the possible on-site first round games. The top three seeds are locked in(Maryville, Huntingdon, Belhaven - in that order).
For the first round #3 hosts #6 and #4 hosts #5 and #7 is left out. Asbury and LaGrange are currently tied for 4th and play Saturday at Asbury. If Asbury wins they will be #4 and if Piedmont loses to Maryville(very highly likely) then LaGrange would be #5.
So, does LaGrange drive home after the game, getting home early hours of Sunday morning only to get back on a bus Monday to drive back to Asbury to play on Tuesday? Or do they have contingency plans to stay until Tuesday or do they just spend Saturday night and go ahead and play the game on Sunday?

Yeah, LaGrange won. So.. never mind.

Huntingdon's book store(Scarlet and Grey Shop) has been managed by Coach Turk's wife for a year or so now and she has added some really nice gear with sewn on twill lettering and embroidered logos and such. We've spent probably too much there this fall.

Quote from: MCScots2013 on November 29, 2025, 01:08:54 PMI'm torn. I would like the SAA champ to show well in the playoffs, but...it's Berry. I wouldn't shed a tear if LaGrange did a complete 180 on them. Plus, the better LaGrange is, the better than can compete for the Georgia talent against Berry since they are the only two D3s in the state.

But, hey. Trinity's in it, too. Today is a "Let's Go, Cats!"

I'm torn too, but this would be absolutely hilarious if this holds up.
Also, didn't realize #11 Kirk Scott QB for LaGrange is only a freshman. UGH. Finally don't have to worry about Bryson Rollins and this guy shows up. He's going to be a problem.

LaGrange breaks a long run to go up 14-8. I wasn't expecting this.

LaGrange playing Berry very tough so far. Berry only up 8-7 a couple minutes into the 2nd qtr.

Maybe ESPN got it right this week. Good video and audio from Berry. A good bit of not great camera work so far.
