The HGL consists of schools that are dead, defunct, or departed, but where the football spirit has never died. The players for these schools are likewise gone in a physical sense, leaving no earthly trace behind, but they still suit up each season for their alma maters, playing before huge crowds of strangely silent spectators. Sometimes on a clear night, when there is no static in the air, a radio broadcast of their games can be picked up at the far end of the AM dial.
Last year Mendel topped the HGL, outscoring its league opponents by a combined 312-83. In the last game of the season, Mendel beat a rugged St. George squad with a Hail Mary pass on the final play. In another close game last year, Weber edged out rival Gordon Tech on a muffed punt snap in the waning minutes. The Red Horde brings back most of its core players from last season and is expected to challenge the Monarchs for league dominance.
