Bolivar, Mo. – SBU football wraps up their home slate Saturday afternoon on senior day against University of Indianapolis. The Greyhounds come into Bolivar ranked #12 in the Nation with an 8-1 record on a seven-game win streak and a perfect GLVC record. The Bearcats return to action after a week off, giving them extra time to prepare for this strong opponent.
 
Two weeks ago, Southwest Baptist hosted the Truman State Bulldogs, holding the GLVC preseason rank #2 team to a 16-27 score. Despite falling in the game, the Bearcats competed closely with one of the top teams in the conference. Senior Kamau Ransom pulled down 146 yards off 13 receptions in the game, making him a front runner for GLVC triple crown award. He leads the conference in receptions with 53 and yards with 823, but is second in touchdowns with 10. Only one touchdown behind the leader, he could overtake him to earn the prestigious award.
 
Defensively, Ricky Woodhouse is leading the conference in total tackles, averaging 11.3 per game which also sits him at 8^th in the Nation. Even stronger than him is Caleb Saner who is third in the Nation in tackles for loss with 1.94 per game. Sitting at 15.5 total on the season, he is only 5 away from breaking the SBU single season record.
 
The team coming to Plaster Stadium has had recent success in the conference, being the GLVC champs each of the past three years. This season, their only loss came to Findlay University with a 35-38 result in the second week of the season. They currently rank 3^rd in the Nation in total offense and 2^nd in the Nation in scoring offense. A strong game can be expected from quarterback Gavin Sukup who is second in passing efficiency in the Nation.
 
Despite the strong opponent, the Bearcats have had a solid year competing in nearly every game this season, giving their opponents all they can handle. With an extra week to prepare for the game Southwest Baptist will be fully prepared to handle the Indianapolis Greyhounds.
 
Prior to the start of the game, they will get to honor their 14 seniors for all they have done for the Bearcat football program. These include Shawn Cherry, Avery Lambert, Collin Sutton, Kamau Ransom, Jed Brandon, Canaan Mullins, Omari Oggs, Jalen Royal-Eiland, JoJo Nichols IV, Jake Beets, Jordan Abercrombie, Gabe Walls, Josh Koranda, and Ben Stelken.
