A couple of former Fort Campbell Falcons are doing well for Western Kentucky University despite the team's bad record.
Sophomore Orlando Misaalefua is fifth on the team in tackles (48) and has a forced fumble.
Josh Carter, one of the few true freshmen to play for the Hilltoppers, has 16 tackles, including two for loss from his linebacker position.
Meanwhile, Stacye Whipple is putting up solid numbers for Bethel College (Tenn.).
The former Falcon is a freshman defensive lineman for the Wildcats and has 22 tackles in nine games, including a sack and a tackle for loss. Whipple also has three fumble recoveries and an interception.
Bethel is 5-6 overall but 4-2 in their conference.
At Murray State, Dexter Durrante was moved to the backfield where he has run 10 times for 55 yards. He also had seven tackles on defense.
Linebacker Josh McWherter has 15 tackles in 10 games.
I had the opportunity to meet Josh this past spring during a girl's soccer tourney in Clarksville. His friend played with a group of Trigg Co. girls on a travel team out of Clarksville. Truly a nice young man, and a credit to the area. GO TOPPERS. And Josh if you are reading this, GO TRIGG!
