33 HUTCHINSON COLLEGE BLUE DRAGONS SIGN WITH 4-YEAR FOOTBALL PROGRAMS
As everyone knows, one of the main points of playing a sport at a 2-year college is to get prepped to sign with a 4 year college. Maybe your grades or certain mechanics of the game could use some adjusting, but after your 2 year stay it is huge to get signed by a 4-year college team.
Just this year THIRTY-THREE Hutchinson College Blue Dragons signed with 4 year schools. Here are more details and player breakdown:
Between the early signing period in December and Wednesday’s traditional National Letter of Intent Day, 33 Hutchinson Community College football players signed letters of intent to move onto four-year programs.
Blue Dragon head coach Rion Rhoades released the list of Blue Dragons moving on Wednesday.
Of the 33 players, 16 have signed on at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs. Four more signed on with Football Championship subdivision programs, seven more with NCAA Division II programs and six more with NAIA programs.
The group of 33 is the largest groups Rhoades has had sign in any single season. Continue reading

EIGHT MORE COOL FOOTBALL HELMETS FROM NEGLECTED TEAMS
PUNXSATAWNEY CHUCKS
Comment: With Groundhog Day just a few days back this is a very appropriate team to start out with!
The Punxsatawney Chucks (short for Woodchucks) not only have appealing helmets but they deserve the world’s thanks for not taking the easy way out and calling themselves the Punxsatawney Phils.
HOLY CROSS CRUSADERS
Comment: It’s no secret that “Crusaders” is one of the coolest names for sports teams.
And if your institution is called Holy Cross then why not go with the stark simplicity of these lids? I really like the white on green color scheme of these helmets, too. Gold on green would be the only thing better.
CONESTOGA VALLEY BUCKSKINS
Comment: Okay, so we were all hoping for a Conestoga Wagon to be on the helmets of this team, but still …
The more I looked at these helmets the more they grew on me. What finally pushed me off the fence was the infinitely cool team name Buckskins. Continue reading

ELEVEN MORE COOL FOOTBALL HELMETS FROM NEGLECTED TEAMS
NORTH EAST GRAPEPICKERS
Comment: The stylish look of the N and the E sold me on these helmets immediately.
The unique team name “The Grapepickers” turned things up to eleven in terms of the coolness factor, making them a cinch for this list.
NORTHAMPTON KONKRETE KIDS
Comment: The Kids are far more than just “alright.”
And the spelling “Konkrete” to go with the “Kids” only adds to the already considerable charm of this entire setup. Ya gotta love the Konkrete Kids!
DANVILLE IRONMEN
Comment: Instead of Boyz II Men we’ve just gone from (Konkrete) Kids II (Iron)men.
I know, that’s a pretty lame segue-way into what may be the coolest helmets on this latest examination of them. Continue reading
