Great season, Bethel.

Blaha and River Falls roll in the cold beating Wheaton 46-21.

River Falls pulls it off in the last minute, beating Johns Hopkins in a shootout 48-41.

Blaha goes for 520 and 5 TDs. They will play in their first ever Stagg Bowl on Jan 4. Lots of Minnesota kids on that roster.

Seems like one of those Wisconsin schools is always in it, every year. Rotates around as to which school it is, but one of them.

They should pull a MIAC kicking out St Thomas and kick the Wisconsin schools up to DII

Awesome ending.

Rohrer, a former Woodbury basketball standout, put up quite the stat line:

9 rec
236 yds
3 TD

This is fun. I got my teaching undergrad at UWRF. With reciprocity RF was the best deal for the buck. They were rated top 10 in the nation for education schools at the time and they were half the cost of Minnesota schools. I would guess this is a big reason so many Minnesota kids are playing there. There is a freshman from Burnsville that attends my church and is on the RF football team. Congratulations to the Falcons.

Here's to hoping the kids from Big Rapids hold on to win.

Championship goes to Ferris State out of Big Rapids, MI.
BTW, that is a nice high school football field at McKinney, Texas where the championship was played.

People still spouting off about the Wisconsin schools being D3?

UWRF beat Johns Hopkins today. Including grad students, JH has a student population of over 30,000. They are grandfathered up to the D1 level in lacrosse as a B1G member. School size has nothing to do with athletic classification.

D2 schools offer scholarships, none of the Wisconsin schools offer scholarships.

Bunch of people here think the WIAC schools should be D2 like the MNSCU schools...because...some reason.
