Adam Wiese Throw For 372 Tards


In what has been a fantastic year for the Lambuth Eagles, became even more special Saturday afternoon as Lambuth beat a great University of the Cumberlands squad 38-7 in the first round of the NAIA Football Championship Series.

The Eagles out gained the Patriots 480 yards to 200. Lambuth's Adam Wiese threw for 372 yards on the day. He was 22-of-32 with TD's to Jesse Ferrell and Brandon Okechukwu. The last toss to B.O was his 31st of the season. Wiese broke the record held by Rashad Smith who threw 30 back in 1999. Wiese was voted Offensive Player of the Game.

Jamie Payton led Lambuth with eight tackles. He was voted Defensive Player of the Game.

Lambuth moved to 12-0 on the year. 
 
Lambuth travels to Chicago to meet St. Xavier Saturday in round two of the play-offs. Kick-off is slated for 1 p.m.

Watch for a complete story and recap on the game and more from Bill Sorrell later today. Bill is a member of the  Lambuth Sports Information Department and a very successful free-lance writer for several Mid-South newspapers.
