The Husson Eagles played their final game of the season Saturday - a home game versus Mt. Ida from Massachusetts. The Eagles come into the game at 5-4 overall and 4-2 in the ECFC.

Husson's 28-23 loss at Norwich last week took away any chance the Eagles had for post-season games. But the 4 conference wins entering the game is already a school record. A win over the Mustangs would give the Eagles 6 wins, second most in school history. Kickoff is 12PM.

Billy Wetherbee(John Bapst HS, Sr.) has rushed for 1,037 yards this season, giving him 2,201 career rushing yards, the 10th MMA player to have 2,000 yards in a career.
