QUARTERBACK David lanes calls an audible on the line of scrimmage in the Homecoming game against Ouachita Baptist University. Time out for worship The football team and its coaches made their huddle in Room 100 of the new gym, this time not to review game strategy or to devise a new defensive attack, but to sing, pray, read scripture and hear a Bible message. Witt explained. "It really brings us together spiritually," Witt continued. ''The majority of the team are members of the church, and it's a time we can really get built up by singing and praying together." "It 's known to people as 'football church' or 'Prock's chapeI.' " said offensive lineman Jay Witt with a grin. "To me, it's a time for worship and fellowship open to non-football players as well ." Throughout the football season,Jearn members , along with other athletes and interested persons gather each Wednesday for a devotional , singing and fellowship period. ' 'The service usually lasts about 45 minutes or an hour, after which Coach Prock makes announcements dealing with the team," BISON Offensive Linema" Jay Witt song leader at "football church. " The relaxed atmosphere has always been an advantage of the services, which Prock said were held on the bleachers prior to the construction of the new athletic center. Attendance for " football church" averages around 100, with 25 to 30 of these being nonfootball players , said Witt . People from the track team, A Cappella chorus and the coaches' wives usually attend, and "anyone else is welcome to come," Witt said. "1 don' t know of any other place around like it," he said. - Beth Parker Q 119 Football
