It was a good weekend for Centennial football, as the Conference teams went 5-2 against non-CC opponents ... it could have been even better, as Dickinson (1-1) had No. 18 ranked Hobart on the ropes before the Statesmen scored a late touchdown to pull out a 31-28 victory ...

QB Kyle Turner (Haddonfield, NJ / Haddonfield) threw for two scores and ran for another, as Franklin & Marshall held the ball for 40 minutes ... the Diplomats play host to Kean on Saturday night in the first-ever night game at Sponaugle-Williamson Field ...

TB Tom Sturges (Ridgefield, CT / Ridgefield) and HB Dusty Green (Idaville, PA / Bermudian Springs) combined for 306 yards, marking the first time since Nov. 2, 2002 that the Bullets had two 100-yard rushers in the same game ... it was Sturges' eighth career 100-yard effort (176), while it was the second for Green (132) ... Johns Hopkins (1-1) came back from an early 14-point deficit to defeat Randolph-Macon, 21-14 ...

Steve: Question? Are teams in the Centennial Conf. allowed to red-shirt players in football? Or is it up to the team?
NCAA Division III rules do not permit red-shirting. Injured players may apply for a medical hardship waiver to compete for an additional season.
