Big day in Hanover with the Green-White scrimmage at 10 a.m., on Memorial Field and an Ivy League Championship Series baseball doubleheader against Cornell starting a noon on adjacent Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park.
Check Big Green Alert premium tonight for a wrapup of the Green-White. (BGA will also be filing a capsule report this afternoon on the scrimmage for the official Dartmouth website.)
Yale football recruit Kurt Stottlemyer of Bothell, Wash., a 5-foot-10, 165-pound safety, has been named to the U.S. team that will play in the 2009 IFAF Junior World Championships that are slated for Canton, Ohio, between June 27 and July 5. In addition to the United States, there will be teams from Canada, Germany, Sweden, France, Japan, New Zealand and Mexico competing.
Speaking of exhibition football, how about the Gatorade Replay game noted on the BGA blog a while back? In 1993 the archrival Easton Red Rovers of Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg State Liners of New Jersey played to a 7-7 tie in a high school game. Sponsored by Gatorade, the same teams resumed training and met against last week to finally decide a winner. A crowd of 14,000 filled Lafayette's football stadium to watch Phillipsburg take a 27-12 victory in a full-fledged tackle football game. More than 10,000 tickets were sold in the first 90 minutes they were available. Peyton and Eli Manning were honorary captains for the novel game. Find a Morning Call story here and an Express-Times story here. There's video with the Express-Times story.
