N.C. Wesleyan releases 2009 football schedule


I have to admit, seeing N.C. Wesleyan playing its home games at Northern Nash last season was a bit weird - since its first four seasons were played at the Rocky Mount Athletic Complex.

Well, guess what folks? It will remain weird as the Battling Bishops will play season No. 6 at Death Valley, too.

With the RMAC's field conditions still in the "work-in-progress" stage, NCWC will play one more season in Red Oak.

Sadly, the Bishops will play only four games there. They played Methodist twice in a row at home and had six home contests out there last season. But that number will be just four for the 2009 campaign.

Here is the slate for second-year head coach Mark Henninger:
