This weekend, Pittsburg State football will seek to go undefeated this season after taking down Washburn on Saturday. KRPS’s Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.
With Saturday’s 37 to 23 win over Washburn, the Gorillas clinched at least a piece of their first MIAA title since 2014.
With a victory this upcoming Saturday against Fort Hays, the Gorillas will earn their first outright conference title since 2011, the same year they won their last NCAA Division II football title with a victory over Wayne State University.
PSU Head Football Coach Brian Wright appearing on ESPN Radio 100.7 FM Monday night, spoke about the season.
“It’s been a lot of work by a lot of people. We have a great staff here. We have great players. Great kids who have been committed to what we’ve tried to do. The culture we’ve tried to build, the attitude that we’ve built.”
The latest NCAA Division 2 rankings were released yesterday; Pitt State football is ranked third in Super Region Three behind Grand Valley and Ferris State.
This Saturday, the Gorillas host the Fort Hays State Tigers. Kick-off at Carnie Smith Stadium in Pittsburg at 2 pm. For 89 9 KRPS, I’m Fred Fletcher-Fierro
