The Sehawks got right back to work in 2014 after a 2013 full of upsets by knocking off the No. 8 Roanoke Maroons 12-8 on Tuesday in a tilt that was pushed back a day due to the snow storm that crushed the east coast over the last week.

The dashboard thermostat of the Acura TL says the outside temperature is 28 degrees. The Mountainhawks’ turf field is in the middle of a wind tunnel, making “real feel” about 20 (my non-meteorologist guess).
