The App freshman who suffered heat stroke recently is out for the season* – “Moore suffered complete kidney failure and was on dialysis once or twice a week. “When he played for me, Storm was about 250-255 pounds,” Craig said. “He had bulked up to 290 or 295, so going into summer workouts a lot heavier might have had something to do with it.””

Sticker shock in the Stink

Terrier may miss 2009. He last played Helloween night.

Paladins looks to pound the ball. “The Paladins return 13 starters, including seven on offense led by preseason All-SoCon running back Mike Brown.”

'Remember Richmond' the Intermission rallying cry

Everyone remembers how last season ended. Bad game. Horrific even.

But never forget. Oh no. Don’t do that. The pain that floods the system is nothing but fuel for redemption.
