Hawkeye Ovals
By Eric Arnold
How about them Hawkeyes!!! Football season has been a roller coaster this year for Hawkeye fans, but it looks like we’re going to a decent bowl game this year.
Congratulations to fellow Newton native, 18-year-old Blake Anderson on being chosen as the new Knoxville track announcer in 2009 to take the place of Justin Zoch. JZ will be missed, but the BHG may have found a new bleacher bum in section D come next summer. Good Luck to Blake!
It’s time to reflect back on the 2008 racing season. It’s time for the BHG Annual Year End Awards. Keep in mind, this is the opinion of the BHG as a group and we like to indulge in a few cold ones now and then.
