Simcox, a freshman from Abingdon, Va., registered nine of the Wasps 27 points and was a key cog in Emory & Henry's come-from-behind victory against NCAA Division I FCS opponent East Tennessee State University. The Wasps' placekicker was not only 3-for-3 on extra points, but he drilled a pair of 48-yard field goals in the third quarter. His first boot -- the longest attempt of his career -- tied the game at 17-all early in the third quarter, while his second kick gave E&H its first lead of the game at 20-17 with 1:55 on the third quarter clock. The 48-yard makes are the third-longest made in ODAC history and are the longest made by an Emory & Henry kicker since Ross McKernan hit a 48-yarder against Randolph-Macon in 2005. Simcox is now 11-for-11 on extra points and 4-of-5 on field goals this season.
Defensive Player of the Week
Tre'von Lightfoot| Emory & Henry| Jr.| Cornerback
Lightfoot, a junior from Big Island, Va., provided the momentum the Wasps needed to recover from an early 14-0 deficit to post a 27-24 win over NCAA FCS foe East Tennessee State University. Lightfoot made four tackles in the game, but also came away with the game's only turnover. He intercepted a pass at the ETSU 36-yard line to setup good field position for what would become a game-tying drive at 17-all early in the third quarter. Lightfoot broke up another pass during the game and added 17 yards of kick return yardage to his daily output. Lightfoot is now tied atop the ODAC with three interceptions with Bridgewater's Jason Monroe.
