Dartmouth junior receiver Tanner Scott is one of 55 players named to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star Team announced at the Football Championship Subdivision champion game between Villanova and Montana. Find the full team here. Dartmouth and Yale were the only Ivy League schools to have players named to the squad.
Scott led Dartmouth with 45 catches for 510 yards with three touchdowns. He was the only Dartmouth receiver to top 100 yards in a game this fall, and he accomplished the trick against two of the best teams the Big Green played – Holy Cross and Harvard. Find his bio here.
Florida high school linebacker Mike Mirabella has scheduled a recruiting visit to Dartmouth next month according to TampaBay.com. The 6-foot, 205-pound Plant High School senior had 130 tackles, 11 sacks, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a blocked punt heading into the Class 5A state championship game last night. Find video highlights of Mirabella here.
Back to Villanova's 23-21 win over Montana for the national championship ... there's a game story in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Two thoughts ...
One: If the Dartmouth coaches were watching versatile Villanova wide receiver Matt Szczur it might have given them a few ideas about how to use personnel next fall. I know it gave me a few ideas.
Two: Think about Penn's 14-3 loss to Villanova in the Quakers' opener. Penn allowed just one touchdown from scrimmage after Szczur's 87-yard kickoff return for a TD. The Quakers had 14 first downs to Nova's 13 and outgained the Wildcats, 239-187. Too bad the Quakers never had a chance to show just how good they were by appearing in the playoffs. Shame on the Ivy League presidents.
There has been much written about the heckling incident at the Dartmouth-Harvard squash match, much of it by commentators and bloggers around the country. The official Dartmouth website has an apology from the Big Green soccer captain here. And now let's be done with that.
Away from the world of sports, a regular reader shared a link to a remarkable New York Times story about a quadruplets being accepted at Yale. I'm sure there will be substantial financial aid but how would you like to have to pay that college bill?
And finally, the first indoor track meet of the season is on tap at noon today. Keep your fingers crossed that a certain Hanover High senior will find out she's all the way back from the blood disorder that sabotaged her cross country season. She's running the 1,000 and a leg on the 4x400 relay.
