The Northeastern State football team went on the road Oct. 30 to East Central to play for a conference championship. The football game will started at 2 p.m. in East Central. The RiverHawks were currently 4-0 in district play now they are 4-1. If they would have capped a victory over East Central they would have been conference champions in the Lonestar North Conference. It would have been the first time in ten years that Northeastern has brought home a conference title.
The last time the RiverHawks claimed a conference title was in 2000 under a different head coach.
“We had a good week of practice, the scout team did well to prepare us and I think we are ready,” said Alan Stroup, Coweta sophomore.
There will two more games following the East Central game left in the season, but now the RiverHawks are tied in conference play with East Central. East Central was currently 3-1 in conference play so now they are 4-1 after beating the RiverHawks, which has caused a tie.
“It would have meant a lot to me if we would have beat East Central and become conference champs and just be a part of it,” said Stroup.
