SOU football – Tevin Lake taken down by Dustin Fretwell after Alex Stork bounced him to the outside

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football #tbt #ThrowbackThursday

Tevin Lake is #5 all time on the NAIA Career Rushing Yards Leaderboard. He passed #6 Dusty McGrorty of SOU in 2014. McGrorty gained his 5,414 yards on almost 200 fewer carries though. Lake was a finalist for the 2014 NAIA Player of the Year Award, an award won by Austin Dodge.

Piles of coffee table books documenting the 2014 SOU football team’s season arrived in the mail today. I decided to go captionless with the format rather than have words clutter up the pages. The only words are on the front and rear covers.

There are two versions of this book. The regular version is 33 full-color pages in length (plus front and rear cover photos) and includes about 40 different photos, most photos being in a large 8″ x 11″ format. Some of the photos have not been published anywhere before (or even been seen by anyone but me). Others are favorites that have been well received on the internet already (but many people haven’t seen them on anything other than their phones). These photos look much better in large print on high quality paper than on a small smart phone screen. The photos come from seven of the games during the Raiders 13-2 championship season and a few are from other events (like the parade in Ashland and activities in Daytona Beach).

The deluxe version is 43 full-color pages in length plus the front and rear covers. The deluxe version is a hard cover book which includes all of the photos from the regular version plus 10 more.

All profits from the sale of these books will go toward the SOU football program. Championship t-shirts are available through the link here.

P.S. Lots of you are emailing me asking to reserve books for you. I’m not selling the books. SOU is selling the books. Details here. Note that the regular version has sold out. There are a few deluxe versions left (as many more of them were ordered).

Ja’Quay Rucker and Dylan Young

Dylan Young asked me for one last photo as his career as a Raider ended last month. I was happy to oblige with the above. However, he better be comping me a photo pass next year when he is playing for the Cowboys so that this isn’t the last photo I take of him. 😉

For some of my prior photos of Dylan, click here.
