DII Football Championship Event a Winner!
Despite the chilly temperatures, the day started with tailgating all around Braly Municipal Stadium for the NCAA D2 Championship Game in Florence, AL this past Saturday. The teams arrived with great fanfare including police escorts. The rain which threatened to put a damper on the day held off, permitting the fly over to take place and the game to remain rain-free until the last few minutes. We were pleased to be able to offer our VIP Coach to NCAA Officials and members of the Police Force as a periodic escape from the elements. In the end, Northwest Missouri State snapped a four-game losing streak in the Division II Football Championship, edging Grand Valley State 30-23 on Saturday at Braly Stadium. Congratulations to both teams for their tremendous performances, to Wayne State (Mich.) University senior running back Joique Bell who claimed the Harlon Hill Trophy Friday as the 2009 Division II College Football Player of the Year and to Shannon Sharpe who was inducted in the the D2 Football Hall of Fame. What a tremendous event this was and Anchor Tours is honored to be a Platinum Sponsor and to be a part of all the festivities.
