Both players and coaches feel that the team gained valuable seasoning experience in the unfortunate West Point incident, and are entertaining hopes bordering upon convictions that the visitors from Hanover will receive a much warmer reception on Saturday than a 32-0 drubbing on the previous game day would seem to indicate...
