Let the second half begin.

Due to a county wide bake sale this weekend at Sam Drucker Arena. All LNCUTMV games were played midweek. We are just over the halfway point in the season and the standings are as follows:

Team-------Record-----(Last 10)
Southern NAIA Tech - Hooterville 11-4 (9-1)
Daisy Moses Medical College 9-6 (7-3)
Bugtussle State 8-7 (6-4)
Southern NAIA Tech 8-7 (5-5)
Mount Pilot Central State 8-7 (4-6)
Bodine Military Academy 7-8 (3-7)
Alaska - Adak 6-9 (2-8)
Pigs Knuckle Hollow - Creekside 4-11 (4-6)

Alaska-Adak has really stumbled of late. Plummeting from second place to off the map in a matter of weeks. They weren't the only early season surprise however. Pigs Knuckle Hollow - Creekside was expected to contend this year but has not been able to overcome an 0-5 start which was due to academic issues. It seems players were skipping practice in order to attend classes. The principles of the Lower North Central Upper Tennessee Middle Valley Conference and D4 philosophies have been reiterated to those individuals concerned and their focus has been regained. For the moment they are on life support but not completely out of it with 12 games remaining.

"System" originator Mount Pilot Central State is not surprising anyone this year, despite having three 7th year seniors. Their bid for a championship may have ended in the off season however as an 8th year of eligibility was not granted in one case. The player in question apparently had accumulated enough credits to graduate. The staff in their compliance office has been given notice that there will be changes for next year.
