Homecoming

Friday evening we had HOF inductee Brice Sayne EC '82 speak to the players at the "Rock" followed with the HOF banquet. Legendary President Landrum Bolling entertained the audience with his stories. President David Dawson and Del Harris also spoke to the crowd. Very nice to hear David Dawson's vision for EC Athletics as we move forward. Very refreshing. My teammate Brice Sayne received his induction plaque from Frank Carr and Don Siler as Brian Sayne, Mike Olexia and Andy Avery looked on. Once again, Frank and Don did an exceptional job. Congratulations to HOF inductees Laurel Stewart and David McGuire, both very deserving as well.

The game versus Manchester was up and down with EC battling to a 17-13 loss. Our players were finally able to respond with good play in all aspects of the game. We ran out of time as we needed to answer Manchester's last score with a TD. I am so very proud of these young men. They battled to the very end and deserved the win.

After the game we all met up in the tailgating quarters next to Darrell Beane Stadium. Donna and I had a wonderful time visiting with Earlham players and their families from the past 30 years. If you are a football alum and have not been back to Earlham for a homecoming game you are missing some good times. Many stories were told...and yes stretched just a little. I love all of you wonderful young men. Thanks for all you have meant to my family through the years.

Now, on to the Next.....Anderson
