Foresters On Top In the MCC
Huntington (4 - 0) Leads the MCC Conference Race
At the Christmas break, the Foresters are in first place in the MCC, with an unblemished
4-0 record. Taylor, Spring Arbor and Bethel have one loss apiece; Marian, Goshen and Grace have two losses; St Francis has three, and Indiana Wesleyan has four.
Overall, Huntington is 11-5, as we go to press, with two of those losses coming versus NCAA D1 schools.
The Foresters are
rated #7 in the country; the result of the Dec. 14 NAIA national coaches poll.

Challenges & Consequences
These Challenges Have Led to Interesting Consequences
Practice Done; Time for Fun
A post-practice tradition, started early this season by Trevor Shively, is the Half-Court
Challenge. A player is challenged to make a half-court shot. If he does, the one who challenges ends up paying the price, which usually is something embarrassing or disgusting.
The Pickled Pigs Feet
The Date: October 20.
The Challenger: Alex Kock.
The Challenge:

The Shooter: James Haifley -- He shoots; he scores!

James made the half-court shot, so Alex retreated to Forester Village for some of that Fear Factor

Alex broke open the jar and a obnoxious odor filled the room. But true to his word, he ate
pig's feet, in spite of facial contortions, some gagging, and lots of laughs from his teammates.
One more important piece of information.
Alex got that box because it was his birthday. That's right, the guys made him eat pickled pig's feet on his birthday!
The Salvation Army Special
The Date: November 7.
The Challenger: Jared Yoder.
The Challenge: Make it;

The Shooter: Dustin Grim -- He shoots; it goes in!

This happened while Jared couldn't play and was riding the bench in street clothes. Dustin, a friend from high school, was with Jared
when he bought a baby blue sport coat (for about $4) at the local Salvation Army Family Thrift Store (to wear to an Interpol concert).
Jared figured Dustin would
