LOGAN SMITH ’23 | STAFF WRITER • The Wabash football team ran all over Oberlin College in a 38-3 victory, keeping the Little Giants atop the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) for another week. An impressive conference record continues to grow on the back of an unstoppable rushing offense and an impenetrable defense. The Little Giants sit at second in the conference for rushing yards with 1,516 and are in third place for rushing touchdowns with 16. Coach Donald Morel was very humble when discussing the team’s large margin of victory. “I think it was a little closer than the score indicated, but we wore them down and it turned into the game we thought it was going to be, and we did a good job,” he said. “The plan was to wear them down and it worked.” It is no secret that Wabash loves to run the football, but when you get production like they have it is impossible not to run the ball. Morel took great pride in discussing his offensive backs and his team’s run game, and he couldn’t hold his excitement when discussing the defense’s immaculate performance. “Isaac Avant [’20] is a really strong player and our offensive line really dominated at times in the run game, especially in the second half when they wore COURTESY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING down,” Morel said. “But like I said that was Mason Durrett ’22 pushes through multiple Oberlin defenders on a run. Wabash finished with 269 total rushing yards in the a good half of football. It was good to get game en route to a 38-3 victory. Mason Durrett [’22] out there and let him play some. Some of the offensive linemen down constantly. So that was the thought health and fitness enough, as he went on to back to play this week, Morel knows his who don’t usually play also got out there. The going into it, just finding the easiest way say: “We are looking to improve our overall team will be ready and eager to play for real story, though, was the defense that had possible to win.” Morel also discussed how health and fitness of our football team.

He continued four or five turnovers, held Oberland to 190 the team could have thrown the ball several think that we can move from a B- to an A-, to emphasize “going from a B to an A” in yards rushing, and we scored on defense. more times, but didn’t need to take the risk. and football season is like taking a class at regards to the team’s performance, and he Which really changed the whole game in the “There were times when I wanted to throw Wabash. At this point in the semester we’re believes they will be able to accomplish this second quarter when we went up 14-3, then the ball, but we didn’t,” he said. “A couple getting a B, and we think that we can get to with the return of his starters. went up 17-3 at half which was really good times I wanted to go for it, and we punted. an A.” Wabash (5-2, 5-1 NCAC) and Kenyon (3-4, for us.” Which is fine as long as you come out on Wabash’s upcoming matchup is 2-4 NCAC) will face off Saturday at 1 p.m. Morel was definitely happy with the top. In 2012 those guys beat us. They know against Kenyon College, who comes off a in Hollett Little Giant Stadium, where the performance by Durrett in the absence of how to drag you into a game, keep it close, demoralizing blowout loss on their own high will be a cool 43 degrees. Morel will Ike James, saying: “He is a good back, he is and beat you, and we did not want that to home field. With a pass-first and pass-often look to lead his men to victory once again, just behind two other really good backs.” happen. They make you work for stuff so approach, Kenyon is about as different but not without the help of his staff who he But he still loved the hard work Durrett puts you are always second-and-6 or third-and-4, from Wabash football as you can get. Morel could not praise enough, saying: “We have in during the team’s practices, saying: “He they’re going to bend and bend. They are emphasized pass defense when discussing a phenomenal staff; same guys have been takes a million reps in practice when other actually the third or fourth best defense in his approach for this week’s game by saying: here since I’ve been the head coach. They guys can’t practice. He is just a really good the league, so defensively they are good.” “Our defense, Coach Ramsey and those guys, are just great teachers, great leaders of football player.” After a big victory against Oberlin, Morel are working away right now. They do throw men; they care about our players, they care Morel was not upset with the passing is ready to continue improving and working it a lot. So we just need to figure out how to about Wabash.

We didn’t Most football teams look at the film and go and not get frustrated by the nickel and dime fits into it.” Morel was certain that he could want an interception. We hadn’t had one to the training room, so we are trying to stuff, you just can’t give up a big play, and never do this job without the support of his the week before, and we were not going push our team ahead for the next couple you should be fine.”. With a rushing total staff. He also knows that he can not take all to turn it over, and we were going to play weeks the best we can by making them of just over 300 yards for Kenyon, Morel is the credit when it comes to the success of the good defense.

THE BACHELOR | WABASHCOLLEGEBACHELOR.COM | 7 SPORTS Look Back: 1981-82 Wabash Basketball Team

BLAKE LARGENT ’22 | SPORTS EDITOR • Wabash College has had a multitude of great and influential teams throughout its rich athletic history. Many of these teams, though, are now confined to the memories of those who were around them at the time. The Bachelor presents its Look Back series, which aims to remember and present some of the greatest and most influential athletic teams of Wabash College. This series begins with the winners of the 1982 Division III Men’s Basketball National Championship: the 1981-82 Wabash College basketball team. I have now lived in Crawfordsville for 19 years after being born here in 2000. Throughout my childhood and high school years, Wabash’s campus was less than a five- minute drive away from my house. Amongst locals like myself, Wabash is well-known for its academics, brotherhood, and football team. My first encounter with anything Wabash-related, however, involved none of these. I first heard of Wabash because of the 1981-82 Wabash basketball team. After almost 38 years since the team’s season began, the 1981-82 basketball team is still the only team in Wabash College history to win an NCAA Division III national championship title. At the beginning of the season, however, expectations for the team JOHN ROBERTS ’83 / PHOTO were not high, according to the team’s head FIRST ROW: Coach Rich Clouse, Chris Denari, Teddy Parker, Mike Holcomb, Head Coach Mac Petty, Pete Metzelaars, Kerry coach, Mac Petty. “We had graduated six Steward, Kyle Foyer, Coach Mike Brewen.
