blue skies

Just a note from out of the blue, so to speak: Blue Mountain College has held its own in its first season of competition. The Toppers of Holly Springs were 11-19 overall and 2-10 in the NAIA TranSouth Athletic Conference heading into a game today at Division II Christian Brothers. BMC lost 9-0 and 10-0 to Belhaven in its first two games back in February but notched its historic first win in Game 4 against Lambuth. The Toppers, coached by former New Albany skipper Curt Fowler and featuring a number of Mississippi juco products, are 6-0 against state rivals Tougaloo and Rust. They also beat then-NAIA No. 1 Cumberland on March 19.
