Whitewater ends
Cru’s season 16-15
By TONY ADAMS_
The Belton Journal
The University of Mary
Hardin-Baylor entered Saturday's
NCAA Division III National
Semifinal game with the opportu-
nity to accomplish several firsts
with a win; their first win against
rival University of Wisconsin at
Whitewater and their first appear-
ance in the Amos Alonzo Stagg
Bowl in nine seasons.
None of these were accom-
plished on Saturday.
UMHB (13-1) was unable to
hold a 12-point lead early in the
game and a critical decision late in
the fourth quarter failed to pay off,
as the Cm fell to the Warhawks
16-15 at Crusader Stadium in
front of a reported 4,136 in atten-
dance to end their season at 13-1.
Whitewater (14-0) will take
on Mount Union in the Stagg
Bowl. The Purple Raiders, who
ended UMHB's season in 2012,
defeated North Central (111.) 41-
40 in a snowstorm in Alliance,
Ohio. The game will take place at
7 p.m. Friday in Salem, Va.
The Cm defense stopped the
Warhawks on their first posses-
sion and started the first drive on
their own 32. UMHB started Bri-
an Gallagher at quarterback and
rotated in Zach Anderson, who
had been the starter for a large
portion of the season.
Following a Michael Car-
penter nine-yard carry, senior run-
ning back Elijah Hudson rushed
the ball on consecutive plays for
eight and 19 yards, respectively.
Gallagher hit Kamray Runnels
with a 22-yard bullet to the UWW
16-yard line.
The Cru moved the ball
down to the UWW 10, but an un-
timely false start penalty stalled
the drive in the red zone. Chad
Peevey booted in a 30-yard field
goal to put the Cm on the board,
3-0, with 6:57 remaining in the
first quarter.
The teams traded failed pos-
sessions before UWW started
their next drive on their own 12-
yard line.
On first gun, a snap out of the
shotgun formation went over
quarterback Matt Behrendfs head
into the end zone. Behrendt dove
on the ball just ahead of line-
backer Baylor Mullins for a safe-
ty. With 2:47 left in the quarter,
UMHB led 5-0.
UMHB received the free
kick and returned it to their own
48-yard line. The Cm rushed the
ball six straight plays for 32 yards
and were on the edge of the red
zone before Anderson dropped
back to pass and forced the play,
passing into the awaiting arms of
defensive back Brady Grayvold
of UWW
Whitewater started the next
drive on their own 13 yard-line.
UWW had the ball seven plays

Special to the Leader-Press
After being postponed for
almost a month for weather is-
sues, the Centex Shootout
field braved the elements at
Waco's 7.164-yard Cotton-
wood Creek golf course and
the Bulldawg boys were there.
Copperas Cove fired a
two-day total 699 over the
par-72 layout, led by Drew
Dewald, who shot 75 on Fri-
day, followed by a Saturday
round of 82, putting him at
157 for the tournament and
10th overall. Also competing
for Cove were Hunter
Wehmeyer (91,92-183), Bryce
Anderson (83-93-176), Travis
Dewald (90,93-183) and
Austin Frederickson
(108,103-211).
"It was one of the longer
courses we've played," coach
Jeff Shannon said, adding that
the Dawgs were 10th of 20
teams entered.
