News On The Horizon 1/10/2020


Mid Major Reinforcements--Three Man Weave

Loudon Love & Jalen Tate

Stripping the Horizon League – a conference which continues to fade into oblivion – of two of its top 3 players could’ve been catastrophic. Thankfully, Tate and Love both recovered quickly from their respective injuries. Wright State and Northern Kentucky were once considered to be the clear-cut Horizon favorites, but oh how the tide has turned. The Raiders are holding up their end of the bargain, but the Norse now find themselves stuck in an unfamiliar logjam in the middle of the Horizon standings.
After holding the ship steady without Tate, much of which was attributable to the heroic efforts of burgeoning superstar Dantez Walton, Tate’s highly anticipated return was quickly deflated. The Norse dropped two of their last three games with Tate in the lineup, and neither loss was particularly close. Previously regarded as the best two-way player in the league, Norse fans are now clamoring for Walton, a trusty sidekick turned irreplaceable star, to expedite his recovery. Meanwhile, Loudon ‘the Linebacker’ Love and his Raiders have raced out to a comfortable 4-0 conference record, looking like a distinguished breed as the surefire class of the conference.
