REDDIES WIN 2011 BATTLE OF RAVINE, 41-36
PR / Steve Fellers
The Battle of the Ravine was a close game Nov. 12 as the Reddies began losing their 41-17 lead at the start of the 4th quarter. With 0.6 seconds left on the clock and mere inches from a final Ouachita touchdown, officials marked the play outside the goal line and Henderson players celebrated a 41-36 victory for what some described as the most nail-biting game of the year. The long-standing game was played on Ouachita’s A.U. Williams Field.
FORMER COACH PROVIDES BOOK TRIBUTE PROCEEDS TO ATHLETICS SCHOLARSHIP Former Coach George Baker, ’97, knows all too well the man chronicled in his book, When Lightning Struck the Outhouse: A Tribute to a Great Coach. Baker coached football alongside Coach Ralph “Sporty” Carpenter for 16 of Baker’s 20 year career at Henderson. In preserving his remembrances of the man — including Carpenter’s folksy sayings and a historic trip to play a series of NAIA exhibition games in June 1976 in Europe with rival Texas A and I — Baker is contributing to the campus that still fondly remembers his friend. The author has pledged all profits from book sales of When Lightning Struck the Outhouse to the Sporty Carpenter Scholarship for football. He participated in the Spring 2012 Huie Library Book Signing and shared his personal memories with former colleagues and guests. His book is available for purchase at georgebakerauthor.com (Phoenix, $19.95).
