Good game by James and pretty much the entire team.We've been using it some the past several games, but not nearly this much. Cabbel being out may have been one reason for going that route. Seemed like the pack line was also more effective when we mixed it up.

The first part has been ruled out but I think this team has proven they can be very good. They also have proven they can be pretty bad too. It'll be interesting to see which team shows up against Campbell.The pack line was also on point today. I think using both kept HP off balance. I expect we will see more of that going forward.
They played solid today, especially in the 2nd half. The zone defense was on point.

In all seriousness though, the more rest for Cabbil the better our defensive performance will be.We are 2-1 with Lovell out of the lineup and 0-4 in the games he played with the knee bothering him. If he isn't at least pretty close to 100%, I have to think we are better off going with the guys who are. Worked pretty well today.

5. GW
6. HPU
7. CSU
8. LU
You host PC Tuesday night, then play host UNCA if you win.
One benefit of splitting back into divisions next year is simplified tiebreakers. You have to be a Rhodes scholar to understand what the conference currently uses.
