Around the Region When he suffered a season-ending injury before the 2006 campaign even started, Tore Alaimo faced a life-altering decision: try to play football again, or be able to throw to his kids in 10 years? In Around the Mid-Atlantic, Ryan Tipps tells the poignant story of the King's linebacker and how he battled to return to the field. It's been a long time since Plymouth State could trumpet its all-time winning percentage as the best in Division III. Back-to-back 0-10 seasons followed by a 1-8 mark in 2004 will do that for you. Even last year, while joining the NEFC along with Coast Guard, Plymouth State had to watch Coast Guard go from a winless Liberty League season in 2005 to the 2006 NEFC title game. The Panthers won four games, the same as in 2005. But this year, the Panthers are 5-0. Tom Haley has more in this week's Around the Northeast. Wes Anderson gets reaction from Mary Hardin-Baylor and Trinity (Texas) about the varying outcomes of their two games this weekend. How is Trinity set up now to face DePauw? More in Around the South. Does a coach's son get preferred treatment from the staff? It might not always work out the way you think. Matt Florjancic has more in Around the Great Lakes. In Around the West, Adam Johnson discovers how much the St. Olaf/St. John's game is not like a sprint. That and more in this week's Around the Region. | |
