'Berg Faces Marietta "On Campus" Saturday

The Heidelberg University football team will look to extend its two-game winning streak this weekend when it entertains Marietta College in a 1:00 p.m. contest at Mayer Field, on the campus of Heidelberg. Saturday’s game marks the first of two-straight at home for the Berg. Heidelberg will look to close out the year with two wins at home to stand at .500 for the season. 
 
Saturday's contest marks the first game played on campus in 64 years. The game is being played on campus in conjunction with the inauguration of Heidelberg’s 14th president Dr. Robert H. Huntington. The 2009 season concludes Nov. 14 against Muskingum University with Parents’ Day at the Berg.
 
The games mark the first contests played on campus since the 1945 season and are the first at Mayer Field. When the football team played on campus they called Armstrong Field home. Armstrong Field was located where Heidelberg’s Krammes Service Center currently sits. In 1946 the Berg moved its home games to Columbian Stadium, known today as Frost-Kalnow Stadium, but still practiced at Armstrong Field until the construction of Krammes Service Center in 1971 ...

Senior Jemar Lewis (Bedford Heights, Ohio / Bedford) of the Heidelberg University football team registered the first 100-yard rushing game on no. 1 Mount Union College this season, but it was not enough as the Purple Raiders posted a 44-14 victory at Frost-Kalnow Stadium in Tiffin, Ohio today, October 17. Following the game, Mount Union improved to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference and the Berg stands at 1-5, 0-5.
 
Lewis finished with 114 yards in 19 carries to mark just the second player to eclipse 100 yards on the ground against Mount Union in its last 21 games. As a team, the Berg has increased its presence out of the backfield as of late, as Lewis’ outing comes on the heels of a 144 rushing yard performance by fellow classmate Kenny Sims (Garfield Heights, Ohio / Garfield Heights) last weekend at no. 18 Ohio Northern University.
 
Heidelberg finished with 333 yards of total offense, on a defense that ranked second in the nation coming into the contest, giving up an average of just 185 yards per game. Mount Union had 536 yards of offense, with 419 coming through the air ... Complete Story
