Black Defeats Orange in Annual Spring Football Game (4-23-09)
GEORGETOWN, Ky.--It
was a classic battle of defense versus offense in the annual Orange and
Black Spring Football Game. Head coach Bill Cronin put all of his
offensive unit on the orange team and his defense on the black, with the
defense getting the best of the offense by a score of 54-48.
The offense led at the half 34-27, but the defense came back strong in the third quarter, after an interception by Nick Schickel resulted in a touchdown.
The scoring was anything but traditional, as the defense racked up points in big plays including loss of yardage, third and fourth down stops and turnovers throughout the night. The spring game completes the off-season practice schedule for the Tigers. The first game of the 2009 season will be at the Big River Bowl in Dyersburg, Tenn. where Georgetown will face William Penn.

Georgetown
College Tiger Football will begin the 2009 season earlier than usual and in
a special way, as the Tigers have accepted an invitation to play in the
inaugural Big River Bowl in Dyersburg, Tennessee on August 29, 2009 at 1:00
p.m. (EST).
Georgetown will face William Penn (Iowa) in the game that will be held at JC Sawyers Stadium.
The Statesmen finished last season with a record of 7-4 and are members of the Mid-States Football Association. Another of many firsts, it is the only time the two NAIA teams have met.
"We have great respect for both William Penn and Georgetown and are happy they have accepted our invitation," said James Counce, Sr., a retired high school coach who leads a group of local visionaries who are organizing the game. "Our selection committee is extremely excited that William Penn and Georgetown College will showcase their programs here in Tennessee."
Georgetown head coach Bill Cronin thinks the early bowl game will serve as an extra incentive during spring practice and preseason workouts. "We are really excited and think this is a special opportunity for our program. We feel like the opportunity to play an 11th game is going to benefit us all season."
