My Little Giants are scheduled to play a double header against the depauw tigers today.  Unfortunately current weather conditions look better suited for ark building than baseball.

Painful loss for the Warhawk Family. RIP Ryan Ponick. Prayers up for the Ponick family.

My bad, thanks for the correction

Quote from: Ron Boerger on April 27, 2025, 08:22:35 AMSpeaking of McM, Kylie Flippin also runs track for McMurry and in this weekend's SCAC championships won the women's high jump, the only athlete to clear 1.57m (on her first try).  She was also a respectable 9th in the SCAC women's long jump (.05m from scoring points in 8th) and 11th in the triple jump (.14m out of the points). 

McMurry is doing what McMurry does in the sport, leading the men's race by a decent margin and the women's by a narrow one, and looking at the entry list has a shot at pulling the double.   They almost assuredly will win the men's championship but will have to maximize their points on the distaff side.   Edit:  I forgot that Colorado brings basically a dozen women for each of the distance races from their XC team and rolls up the points basically in those events, so that will make matters much more difficult.

Talking about track, this is one of those times I kinda wish Austin College still had that as a sport simply because they've got a freshman on the baseball team who ran a 10.39 100m in high school. (Not surprisingly, he's leading the conference in stolen bases this year.)

Quote from: AMaini on April 10, 2025, 08:55:25 AMAmherst College is looking for single games to fill our 2025-26 schedule. We have availability 11/18-11/23 and 11/29-12/10, along with various dates in January.

Please contact Assistant Coach Ayush Maini at amaini28@amherst.edu.

Amherst College is continuing to search for single games to fill our 2025-26 schedule. To make the trip to New England more feasible for farther teams, Amherst College is partnering with Trinity College to coordinate schedules so that your team can play both Amherst and Trinity in a single trip. Amherst and Trinity (CT) both finished top-35 in NPI last season, and we invite teams looking for an opportunity to quickly boost their own NPI in a single trip.

If there are teams looking for a third or fourth game to further justify a trip to New England, Amherst is aware of other teams in the area looking for additional games and would be glad to coordinate dates and times with schools in our region to ease travel/logistical concerns.

Please contact Assistant Coach Ayush Maini at amaini28@amherst.edu for inquiries.

Amherst College and East Texas Baptist University have arranged to play a game at Amherst, MA in early January, and we are looking for an additional team in the area that is willing to host East Texas Baptist University. Dates are somewhat flexible. ETBU is seeking to reduce travel; Amherst can host the game if an interested team is farther away.

Please contact Assistant Coach Ayush Maini at amaini28@amherst.edu.

Quote from: CruFrenzy on April 28, 2025, 05:19:17 PMI didn't say he lead the nation in passing yards. But there's a case to be made.

Top 5 best QBs in NO PARTICULAR order from 2024

Zac Boyes - Cortland State
Syverson - SJU
Luke Lehnen- NCC
Kaden Brown - ETBU
Simptimphelter - John Carroll

I wonder how he would have done with the supporting cast that Luke Lehren or Zac Boyes had.

Or if he had just had a few more passing attempts. He had 250 attempts compared to most of these others that had 300 and 400+. With the exception of Lehnen who seemingly threw a TD on every attempt
