Elon gets hot win on cold day
Christians
gain NAIA
title again
by Joel Mancss
Coach Jerry Tolley com
pared the Elon Fightin’
Christians second consecu
tive NAIA football cham
pionship with going to Dis
ney World. The second time
around is not quite as excit
ing, but still very gratifying.
In bitterly cold Memorial
Stadium on Dec. 19, the
Fightin’ Christians beat Pitts
burg State (Kansas) 3-0 in a
fierce defensive battle.
The Elon kicking game
proved to be a deciding
factor. Defensive MVP
Chris Worst set up the
game’s only scoring by
blockitut a Gene Wayenburg
punt, which Kenny Angel
recovered on the Gorillas’
eight-yard-line.
Elon ran three plays,
keeping the ball in the
middle of the field. With
11:59 left in the game, Phil
Renn kicked what proved to
be the winning field goal, a
23-yard effort.

Pittsburg State Coach
Ron Randleman praised the
Elon kicking game. “Their
punter (Kelly Stanley) did a
fine job (eight punts for a
41.S average.) And of
course, their kicker is exper
ienced while ours is a fresh
man.”
Randleman was referring
to PSU’s Dave Hammons,
who missed four field goals.
“They were ail telling me to
keep my head,” Hammons
said, “and not get down on
myself. I tried, but...”
The statistics tell the sto
ry. The Christian offense
generated only 140 total
yards. Quarterback John
Bangley passed for 87 of
those yards. The Suffolk,
Va., junior completed six of
16 passes.

sive team we’ve faced all

Gagnon went on to com
