I don't think anyone takes down the Bison this year. None of the games I've watched show anyone close to their caliber.

Nothing like a little college wrestling to get you warmed up for football. Actually, I don't find wrestling to be much of a spectator sport. It is one of the better conditioning sports for athletes, based on my limited experience with it in Junior High Phys Ed class.

Mary Hardin-Baylor beat Mount Union 24-16 to win the NCAA Division 3 Football Championship in the 46th Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.

This was the first time that the Division 3 national championship was decided in Texas. It was a re-match of last year's title game and featured the last two champions (Mary Hardin-Baylor in 2016; Mount Union in 2015 and 2017).

After a 25-year run in Salem, Va., the next two Stagg Bowls will be played in Shenandoah, where three high schools play their home games: Conroe Oak Ridge, The Woodlands and The Woodlands College Park. With a capacity of 9,600, the stadium holds roughly 2,500 more fans than Salem Stadium.

Both teams had perfect 14-0 marks.

Attendance at the Stagg Bowl = 6,816.
