Quick Hits: ODU Spring Game
Monarch football fans have a lot to look forward to as ODU makes the transition to Division I FBS football. The 2013 schedule is a haphazard mix of home “buy” games and road games against some top regional opponents. The Monarchs will find themselves in the deep end of the pool very quickly as they open the season at East Carolina then travel to Maryland, but they’ll also see Howard, The Citadel, and Albany in succession at home after that. ODU can’t get complacent, and Saturday’s Blue/White game was a sign that the program is still moving forward.

By all accounts, Old Dominion’s Spring Game was uneventful. That’s just how Head Coach Bobby Wilder would have liked it.

Excitement Abounds In Southampton
In early March, the administration of Southampton County Schools ended their search for the next great coach and announced the hiring of Willie Gillus Jr. In doing so it brought back the hype of football to the athletes, the students and the community. Southampton has a long history of producing numerous college level stars and a few former NFL players, most recently Greg Scott. Since the 70’s Southampton county residents have been proud of their Indians football prowess. In the last decade they’ve seen their Indians struggle in mediocrity but with the hiring of Gillus, the war drums are beating once again.
