Ferrum Relentless In Victory Over Randolph Macon

Just before the Shenandoah game, I received a comment on the blog from an anonymous reader telling me that Ferrum would win only two games. The reader also said that those two wins would come against The Apprentice School, and Greensboro. The comment went on to say that Ferrum's football program was not up to the test of the competitive ODAC. Essentially, the message of the comment was that Ferrum would not be competitive and did not belong in the ODAC.

Today, Ferrum traveled to Randolph Macon. The conference leader. A very good team that only had one loss, against national power Johns Hopkins. They had systematically defeated seven opponents in a row. The Yellow Jackets could wrap up the conference with a win.....at home......on Senior Day. It was a storybook setup for Randolph Macon, and if you were to give the aforementioned anonymous comment poster any credence at all, Ferrum might as well just stay on the bus, and watch the trophy presentation through the bus windows. Well if you don't think Ferrum belongs, THINK AGAIN!

With a solid offensive performance, and a defense that just befuddled the Randolph Macon boys, Ferrum had it's best game of the year, and it's biggest win in I don't know how long. Final- Ferrum 28 Randolph Macon 23 This was huge. Ferrum may not win the conference, but there will not be one single team next year, looking forward to playing them. So Ferrum may not win the ODAC this year, but they are heading in that direction, and I don't think it will be long.

Ferrum, the boys from the sticks. The team that plays at the base of Saul's Knob. The team that according to some just is not on the same level as those older more refined schools of the ODAC, sent the Yellow Jackets back to their locker room with the second L of the year on their record.......Oh and did you know.......this was the fifth all time meeting between Randolph Macon and Ferrum. Ferrum leads the series.....5-0.

Go Panthers!
