FYI:
Just got back from my daughter's retreat closing ceremony but befoe I left, I did receive a call from WR Dan Deters' father, Dan Sr.,that Xavier and SIUE were tied at halftime 14-14. This was after SIUE had opened up a 14-0 lead but Xavier scored two frist half TDs. One was on a pass play to I believe was Anton Daniels who made what was described as a nice catch on a ball thrown into the wnd. QB Chris Greenwood ran for a 7 yd. TD to even up the score (It would appear Craig Hallman's PAT kicks were both good.)
The first half was described as being played in gusty, windy conditions and Greenwood threw 3 interceptions with the defense not looking very good initiiallly. When I asked what the prospects were for the second half, Dan Sr. predictied a XU win of 28-14 or 28-21 based on X's improvement at the end of the first half.
Just got home and my daughter told me coach Powers called to say X won 17-14. Dan Sr. also called and left a message that X won 17-14 on a 27 yd. field goal into the wind by Hallman. He also stated that the second half was marred by turnovers and that SIUE appeared to wear down because several of its players were going both ways., X's record stands 4-1 for the season and 2-0 in the club conference.
Congrats to coach Powers, coaches and players!
