Washington's Lost is Central's Gain

Three of the seniors UW coach Ty Willingham "released" last November are leading the Central Washington Wildcats to a national ranking. Chris Hemphill, Durrell Moss, and Charles Smith, deemed not worthy to play another season for the mighty Huskies, are enjoying their time in the small-town atmosphere of Ellensburg.

Central is currently ranked #17 and #19 in the 2 major Division II polls. Puyallup product Johnny Spevak is leading the team in receiving with 9 TD and 600 yards as of October 13. Spevak and the former Huskies will be on display this Saturday at Qwest Field for the annual "Battle in Seattle" between rivals Central and Western Washington. The winner takes home the Cascade Cup. If you enjoy small-college football I suggest you go out to the game and support the national-ranked Central Wildcats.
