HOLT Bowl Win

The Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys began their season with a tribute to fallen teammate Zemaric Holt by lining up with 10 men on defense and promptly scooped up a fumble for a score.

 

Holt, a defensive lineman for the squad who drowned at a local swimming place in the offseason, was with them in spirit on that play to start their season and was there again on Saturday as the Wonder Boys won their first bowl game in school history on Saturday, 51-35, over Eastern New Mexico in game two of the Hoffpaiur Auto Group C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl NCAA Division II game at Bulldawg Stadium in Copperas Cove.

 

“We dedicated this whole season to him and he was with us the whole way,” said senior linebacker Logan Genz. “I mean he showed up all season. When we needed a big play, he was there with us and he made it happen.”
