Well we closed out the next to the last week of the season on a four-game winning streak and are hoping to get three more “W’s” this week.
Tuesday night we traveled to VA Wesleyan and won in O.T. It had been five years since our last win down there so that made it even more special. It was a late night for the team and coaches though. With the extra five minutes of action that put us late starting and then our bus broke down on the way home. But our dependable driver, J.P., got us back to campus safely at 2:30 a.m.
We stepped out of conference to play at Mary Baldwin on Thursday and picked up a win. We went 4-1 in non-conference games this year …it’s been a while since that has happened.
Then on Saturday in front of 450 fans we defeated Randolph in our third-annual “PINK ZONE” game. It was a great atmosphere. Total counts are not in yet but at the game we took in over $1500 in donations!! Eagle Productions sold “dress down” buttons to faculty/staff for $5 and I do not have the exact amount that they took in then. You’ll have to check the website later for those. But EP did a TREMENDOUS job of helping us promote the event. And a GIANT THANK YOU to everyone who donated!!
Yesterday we were on the road at E & H and picked up another KEY O.D.A.C. win. Besides numbers 1 & 2 the rest of the standings are going to be decided in the last week of the season. That sure makes things interesting!! I can’t believe we only have three games left!! Time to pick up the lunch pail and get to work …
Until next time …Go EAGLES!!
