Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

All nine head football coaches from the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) were represented in Wednesday morning's online chat session, which was a prelude to the preseason coaches' poll results. 

Presentation College is adding a football team to give students the full college experience, says the Aberdeen American News' Jeff Bahr.  He notes that a side benefit for the college's president, Dr. Lorraine Hale, is that the Saints will have a pep band.

It did not take long for Greenville College to settle on its newest head football coach.  After a one-month search, Greenville College has announced that it has selected Ordell Walker as its sixth head football coach effective immediately.  Walker has been leading the program on an interim basis since December 22.

 Greenville College and Westminster College (Mo.), who took first and second place in their first go-around as associate members of the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC), cleaned house in the south division all-conference awards, which were announced on Wednesday. 

Northwestern College and Martin Luther College, who finished their game on Oct. 10 a mere two points from one another, were separated very similarly on Wednesday as the UMAC released its all-conference awards for the league’s north division.

Martin Luther College and Greenville College have won their respective UMAC North and South Division Championships.  Both teams posted undefeated records in division play to earn UMAC trophies.

What began with the highest-scoring game in UMAC Dome Day history has turned into back-to-back games that featured two variables: the Crown College football team and 130 or more combined points between the two competing teams.
