Mules still kicking Around the Region Can Muhlenberg overcome the Centennial Conference's playoff woes of recent years? The Mules remain unbeaten after topping Dickinson this past weekend and are 8-0 for the first time in 60 years. Ryan Tipps talked to Muhlenberg and Dickinson about this past week's contest in Around the Mid-Atlantic. It was easy to write off Cal Lutheran in the preseason and declare the SCIAC a two-team race between Occidental and Redlands. After all, the Kingsmen had lost their coach and their star quarterback late in the offseason, along with the traditional turnover every program sees. And when Cal Lutheran started the season 0-2, it seemed justified. But then the Kingsmen won their first three conference games. Then they beat Occidental handily on Saturday night. Hard to deny Cal Lutheran now, the only team perfect in SCIAC play. Adam Johnson tells us what's ahead in Around the West. Waynesburg picked up its first loss this past weekend, but with freshman running back Robert Heller in the Yellow Jackets' backfield the team still has an excellent shot at the postseason. How did coach Rick Shepas find a replacement for his all-time leading rusher so soon? Matt Florjancic has more in Around the Great Lakes. The Miracle in Mississippi was splashed all across the media, but Wes Anderson reminds us that there were 59 minutes, 58 seconds before that snap and that Trinity has two games left to go before it can claim the automatic bid. Tigers coach Steve Mohr talks about what led up to the 15 laterals and the aftermath in Around the South. Washington U. has a last-chance game to salvage a playoff bid against Case Western Reserve this weekend, with more in Around the Midwest, while Morrisville State finally got a signature win, check Around the East. In Around the Northeast, it's a look ahead to the NEFC title game. That and more in this week's Around the Region. | |
