It is the nature of the game. Coming back from a couple of injuries and still making an impact is harder to do. Emporia State junior defensive back Derek Lohmann is in that rare category of succeeding after battling through two injuries.

The Bearcats will only be on the highway for about 2 hours.

If Emporia State would have lost to Nebraska-Omaha instead of pulling out a 10-1 victory in the championship game Saturday at Blue Valley Recreation Complex, a stop at Chili's would have never happened.
