Glorifying God Through Athletic Competition

The ‘07-‘08 season has been the Wesley College Warriors’ toughest schedule in many years – consisting of 13 NAIA Division One games, two NCAA Division Two games, one NCAA Division Three game and one NCCAA Division Two game.  During the regular season, the Warriors defeated Tougaloo College (NAIA D1) and lost to Belhaven College (NAIA D1) by 9 points and then by 2 points on a shot at the buzzer.  They also lost to Mississippi College (NCAA D3), a perennial D3 powerhouse, by only 4 points.  The Warriors played #17 ranked Texas-Wesleyan University (NAIA D1) to within 3 points and lost to Pensacola Christian (NCCAA D1) by a single point on a last second shot. 

Even with this tough schedule, the Warriors achieved the first undefeated regional record in school history (14-0 in NCCAA South Region).  They were ranked nationally in the top 5 for the entire season and held the #1 spot for four weeks.  With a first-round bye and the #1 seed in the South Regional Tournament, the Warriors slipped up to tournament host Clearwater Christian 74-88 in the Semi-Finals and fell short of their goal to repeat as South Regional Champions.
