With an astounding performance by Radford's offense, the Southern Tech Wildcats proved to be no match for the Highlanders. Sophomore Quarterback, Mike Massey, H-Back/Versatility Player, Bryce Lapaglia, and Wide Out, Vittorian 'Tree' Devlin, paved the way for the offense the entire game. With room to breathe on offense, the Radford defense rained havoc on the Wildcats up and down the field. A 4th Quarter interception by Strong Safety, Jacob Nichols, clinched the 19-16 win with 2 minutes left in the game.

The Wildcat homecoming game was one of the best games a spectator could possibly watch. The stadium entertainment, the food, and the on-field competition made for a Sunday afternoon that no one wanted to miss. By far one of the most athletic games in Radford's history, both the offense and defense gelled together for a very solid performance which ultimately led to the win.

This marks Radford's second win in a row after dominating last week's opponent, Walter Reed Medical College, up in Washington D.C.

Defensive STANDOUTS for the Southern Tech/Radford game: Justin Coulter, Eric Zimmet, Captain, Matt Bales, Steve Schrank, Mark McCoy Jr., Mike Barta, Jacob Nichols, Jeremy Sturgill as well as the remaining havoc-raising Highlanders.

With a Radford's Defense holding The Tar Heel Club to a scoreless game, a muffed punt in the Third Quarter, causing an ensuing 2 point safety, made it possible for the Tar Heels to squeak by Radford with a 2-0 win at the end of the Sunday, October 4 game in Chapel Hill, NC.

Defensive stand-outs included Justin Coulter who had 2 sacks on the day, and Versatility Player, Captain Matt Bales who played defensive end for the 4-3 package that was set up against the Tar Heels.

Radford University Football suffered its second loss of the season against Fork Union Military Academy this past Sunday, September 20, 2009. The defense held strong against FUMA the entire first half, but without the momentum of a scoring offense the force proved too much to control against a powerhouse team like Fork Union.

The entire Radford defense contributed to an outstanding performance, but versatility player Matt Bales proved to shine above the rest as he faced Fork Union's number one prospect, 6 foot 7 Morgan Moses. Morgan Moses, a versatile offensive lineman for Fork Union proved to be a tough opponent against Radford's defense. All day Matt Bales managed to give the future Division 1-A athlete a handful all on his own. It was truly a day that Matt Bales will remember for the rest of his life.
