JMU Warns Students After Snowballs Disrupt Sun Belt Title Game, Nearly Hitting Troy Punter

Officials warned of ejection or a team penalty for any snowball throwing.

Overview

  • Snowballs were hurled from the James Madison student section during pregame and through much of the first half despite repeated PA warnings.
  • With 4:30 left in the first quarter, a snowball narrowly missed Troy punter Evan Crenshaw as he kicked from the end zone.
  • Crenshaw’s punt traveled 26 yards, giving James Madison short field position that produced its first points on a 40-yard field goal by Morgan Suarez.
  • JMU displayed a stadium video-board message stating that throwing snowballs would result in immediate ejection.
  • Harrisonburg recorded about 1.5 inches of snowfall, its first measurable of the season, and reports did not indicate any ejections or penalties were enforced.
