UCA reveals 'home-run' back

The University of Central Arkansas football team completed what Coach Steve Campbell described as a "good spring" with the annual Purple-Gray game Saturday at Estes Stadium in Conway.

The Purple squad, consisting mainly of the first-team offense and defense, outscored the Gray 33-13.

"Now we have to get back in the weight room," said Campbell, who led the Bears to a 10-3 record last season and a second-round appearance in the FCS Playoffs. "I'm telling these guys, it's all about how you finish."

Starting quarterback Hayden Hildebrand, a senior from Bossier City, La., completed touchdown passes of 48 yards to senior Roman Gordon and 8 yards to junior Jakari Dillard.
