PRICHARD, Alabama - The football team of Arkansas Baptist College has tackled some of the biggest challenges in junior-college football this season, and the Buffaloes will get another at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Crossroads Classic. That's when ABC will take on Concordia College - Alabama at Prichard Memorial Stadium. Arkansas Baptist is a two-year college; Concordia is a four-year school.
"It's a great opportunity for my kids," Arkansas Baptist coach Richard Wilson said. "Very seldom do you, at a two-year institution, get to play a four-year school. We feel very fortunate to have been invited.
"It's always challenging to play somebody at a four-year program, but it gives my kids what they really want, and that's an opportunity to be looked at."
The youngsters playing for the Buffaloes hope to continue their collegiate careers at four-year programs after playing at ABC. That shows on the field, Wilson said.
"You'll see a bunch of young men who, first off, will play hard," Wilson said. "Our theme is: Attitude is everything. We want our kids to know that when they go to someone's program, they need to be an asset to them and not a liability."
