FHSU Sports Information Department

WACO, Texas – The Tiger football team has been bouncing in and out of the AFCA Division II Poll receiving votes section over the past few weeks. After falling out of the receiving votes section for the first time this season following a Week 6 loss to Missouri Western, FHSU jumped back in after a win over then No. 13 Emporia State. The Tigers fell out for the second time last week following a loss to then No. 3 Northwest Missouri State, but jumped back in this week following a 24-7 win over Nebraska-Kearney.

The Tigers are receiving three votes in the latest poll. All other schools from the MIAA referenced in the poll are in the top 25. Northwest Missouri State is No. 2, Emporia State is No. 14, and Central Missouri is No. 24. The Tigers at 6-3 overall head to Missouri Southern (1-8) this weekend, looking to match their win total from last season.
