Culver Stockton Football Picked 6th in the HAAC North

Are HAAC football coaches overlooking the Wildcats?

Despite winning three of their last four games and posting a 6-5 overall record and a 4-5 conference mark a year ago, the Culver Stockton Wildcats are picked to finish sixth in the six team Heart of America Athletic Conference North in 2015 according to the annual coaches poll. That late season run includes the Wildcats first ever win over Baker on the road at Baldwin City and the first win since 2007 over Evangel and just the second win ever against the Crusaders.

Heart of America Athletic Conference newcomer Grand View (IA) is picked to win the HAAC North. Mid America Nazarene is the coaches choice in the south.
