We were so close last night! We ended up losing to Bethel University in the fifth game 15-10. It was a good game for us, but it would have been great to get the “W.” Here is the story:

I noticed your St. Kates was able to beat my Bethany Lutheran a while back. Have you or will you have the chance to face my other former school Central College?
I enjoyed your post on words.
Enjoy the rest of your season.
Marty -
Thanks for stopping by - We did take Bethany out, but lost to Central earlier in the season. Central is nationally rated and a very good team. Someday maybe…
