The trophy case at Millsaps College is getting crowded. The Majors won the inaugural Southern Athletic Association championship series on Wednesday (after also winning the regular season crown) and now have claimed nine conference titles in coach Jim Page’s 25 years in the purple and white. The SAA, as a new league, doesn’t have an automatic postseason bid, so the Majors must wait and hope for an at-large invitation to the NCAA Division III regionals on Sunday. A bid would be the school’s seventh. Don’t bet against them. The Majors are ranked No. 25 in the latest D-III poll and No. 3 in the South Region (one of eight). Also of note: The school record for wins is 37. The current club is 34-11, with eight wins in the last nine games. The Majors have been consistently good all season and might be playing their best at the perfect time. Perfect, that is, if they get to keep playing.
