To steal a quote from the movie ‘Gladiator’ “Are you not entertained?!?” What you are watching right now, all across the country, is phenomenal! We have stated over and over again, this time of year just brings the best out of everyone. The top teams in the NAIA and the top team in each league are getting EVERYONE’s best shot. Seniors are digging deep into their bodies to find every ounce of heart, determination and talent that they can muster up to try and extend their college careers. Sure, there are still a few games left of the regular season, but we do have a handful of leagues in which not everyone makes the playoffs, so we do have a handful of teams who will only have 2 weeks left of the season. Going to continue to see a lot more fight in teams across the NAIA! As we did last night!
