The Cortland Red Dragons are unable to bring the Cortaca Jugs back to Cortland this year. The Dragons faced a tough Bombers offense and a strong defense to lost the game with the final score 23-20. With 9,700 people in the stadium to witness this great battle of athletes they surely got their moneys worth. One of the major components to the Cortland team this year was senior wide receiver Wayne Wheeler. He finished his day in his last Cortaca game with 4 receptions with 2 of them for touchdowns. The Dragons had the ball with a minute left to play and with them only down 3 points, it looked for a moment that the dragons would pull out a termendous upset. However, quaterback Alex Smith threw an interceptions to seal the Dragon fait for this years game. The game will be held next year in Cortland for the now said "upcoming national champs" to take back what belongs in Cortland.The Cortland Red Dragons will face St. John The Fisher in an ECAC bowl game this weekend for the final game of the season. This game will be the last for the seniors on this Cortland team and they all have high hopes to end their college football careers with a win. This being the last game that these players will play in puts it in to persepective how little time we really have. I've spoken with many of the seniors on this years team and they all basically relay the same message to appreciate everything that you have when you have it, and never let a day go by when you dont realize this. These words that are filled with emotion simply go to show the love that is needed to play this amazing game. Go Red Dragons.
