Jackets makin' noise
Around the Region Randolph-Macon's unlikely season has taken the Yellow Jackets from 2-8 also-rans and a preseason last-place pick in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference to an 8-1 2007 and a berth in the conference title game. For coach Pedro Arruza, it's been a rebuilding like where you wouldn't believe. Ryan Tipps has more in this week's Around the Mid-Atlantic Meanwhile, Emory and Henry's hoped turnaround hasn't gone quite as planned. Tipps also talks to coach Don Montgomery to see what a rebuilding project looks like when it's a little earlier in the process. There are three head-to-head games with conference titles on the line in the West Region this weekend, and Adam Johnson takes a look at them all. Hear what opposing coaches have to say about both sides in the IIAC, MIAC and SCIAC in this week's Around the West. Rivalry games abound this weekend, the final week of the Division III regular season. That includes the Monon Bell game between DePauw and Wabash, focus of this week's Around the South. And as Clyde Hughes writes in Around the Midwest, there's another bell in Indiana that is on the line. But the Cortaca Jug game can't take top billing in Around the East, not with a Liberty League that has four games all facing off for the conference crown. Plus, a team led by an RV and a young program that may have arrived. That and more in Around the Region. | |
