Love this for Hendrix College in Conway!
UCA has always had a rivalry with them in basketball and before they dropped football they were decent. Played their first game and got their first win in 53 years the other day! On a last second field goal! xthumbsupx

CONWAY, Ark. - After a 53-year hiatus, the Hendrix College football team resumed play with a last-second 46-44 win over Westminster College at Young-Wise Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Trailing by one, freshman kicker Steve Crenshaw (http://www.hendrixwarriors.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=699) booted a 25-yard field goal through the uprights with one second remaining in the game to give the Warriors their first victory since the program's last game in 1960.

On a side note, Hendrix college, population under 2000, took a little over 1 year to raise 100 million dollars for their school. Freakin' incredible! Congrats to them and I wish UCA could do that!

It is too bad that the nickname for Hendrix isn't the Jimmies! :D

Congrats to them on their win and return to football after all of that time!
