 Offensive Player of the Week
 Eric Hoy| Randolph-Macon| Jr.| All-Purpose Back
Hoy, a junior from Clayton, N.C., etched his name in the ODAC record book following his performance in the Yellow Jackets' 56-28 win over Hampden-Sydney in the 122nd edition of "The Game" on Saturday. Hoy found the end zone five times via the rush, tying for second in ODAC history in both single-game rushing touchdowns and single-game overall touchdowns. The last time an ODAC player scored five touchdowns in a game was 2012 (H-SC's Vance Hendren). The 30 points tie for fourth-most in league history, joining the efforts of four other players. Hoy's last three touchdowns marked the game's final scores as he helped break open a 35-28 game with a late third quarter touchdown and two more in the final frame. He finished with 21 carries for 93 yards with an additional 77 yards on eight receptions. He completed a pass on a half-back option that covered 29 yards, and made a pair of tackles on special teams to add to his stat sheet. Hoy finishes the season with 359 yards and 11 touchdowns on 67 carries. The 11 rushing TDs are fourth in the league. He also caught 50 passes for 416 yards and four more touchdowns. His 15 overall touchdowns are fourth-most in the league along with his 90 points.
   Defensive Player of the Week
 Ryan Burns| Randolph-Macon| Sr.| Defensive Back
Burns, a senior from Fredericksburg, Va., helped the Yellow Jackets shutdown Hampden-Sydney's offense in the second half on the way to a 56-28 victory in the 122nd edition of "The Game" on Saturday. Burns posted a game-high 15 tackles with 10 solo stops -- also a game-best. He also led all players with five passes defensed, including a momentum-swinging interception. With R-MC leading 28-21 early in the third quarter, Burns broke off his coverage assignment and intercepted a possible touchdown pass at the goal-line. He returned it 39 yards to setup Randolph-Macon with what would become a touchdown scoring drive, turning his interception into a possible 13-point swing-play. Burns finishes the season with 52 tackles including 36 solo stops. He notched three interceptions and broke up a league-best 16 passes.

Team News and Notes
BRIDGEWATER closed its season with a 41-7 non-conference loss at Washington University in St. Louis. The Eagles finished with a 4-6 overall record and 1-5 in the conference with three straight losses to end the year. Quarterback Brendon Maturey ran for 58 yards and BC's touchdown midway thru the first quarter. He threw for 46 yards on 9-of-15 passing. Malivai Barker added 40 yards on the ground. Defensive, William Clift III had a big ay with 12 tackles, 2.0 tackles for a loss, and an interception. He also broke up another pass. Tyler Bonner made four stops and registered a quarterback sack. Josh Brooks came away with his fourth interception of the season, which slots him third in the ODAC.

EMORY & HENRY opened up a 21-0 halftime lead but suffered from five fumbles (two lost) and three interceptions as Guilford picked up a come-from-behind 42-38 win on Saturday. The Wasps racked up a school-record 712 yards of total offense going for over 300 yards both on the ground and through the air. The previous record of 667 was set against Samford in 1987. It was E&H’s third game this year running for more than 300 yards (312). Emory & Henry got out to a 21-0 halftime lead thanks to two touchdown catches by Derrick Yates from Hunter Taylor, who ran one in for the third score of the opening half. The Quakers scored six touchdowns after the break including five straight possessions, going up for good with 2:11 left in the game on a one-yard run by De’Eric Bell/ The fourth-quarter was a high-scoring affair with 45 total points scored. Taylor threw for 400 yards and three touchdowns on 23-for-36 passing despite throwing three interceptions. He also ran for 45 yards and a score. His 400 yards are second-most in program history for passing yards in a game. Isaiah Rodgers put up another career day with 192 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries while Brady Justice had 51 yards on 11 touches.

GUILFORD recovered from a 21-0 halftime deficit to post six second-half touchdowns on the way to a 42-38 win over Emory & Henry. It marks the second three-touchdown comeback for the Quakers over the Wasps in the last four seasons. Running back De'Eric Bell racked up 324 all-purpose and four touchdowns. He ran for 132 yards and three touchdowns and ran back a kickoff 78 yards for his fourth score, which also accounts for his D-III leading third return TD of the season. He is now the all-time leader in all-purpose yardage in ODAC history with 6,237 yards. His 13 rushing TDs are a new Guilford single-season record, while his 831 kick return yards are another school season standard and second in the ODAC.

That mark is third-best in ODAC history, while his 110 receiving yards this season tie for second-best in league history behind former H-SC standout Holton Walker (111 in 2013) and matching the effort of Drew Smith in 2007. Carter Cunningham had 11 catches for 112 yards and a touchdown to go with a team-high nine carries for 42 yards. Mike DeMasi had seven carries for 14 yards and a score. Defensively, the Tigers allowed 496 yards on 202 passing and 294 rushing. Ryan Mallory led the way with 12 tackles, including one for a loss of two yards.

Eric Hoy registered five of those rushing scores to go along with 170 all-purpose yards (rushing plus receving) and 151 yards of total offense (rushing plus passing). He scored the final three touchdowns of the game, helping to break open and seal the win. His five touchdowns are tied for second all-time in the ODAC, while his 30 points are tied for fourth in league history.

Quarterback Burke Estes was 15-of-28 for 173 yards thru the air, while Hoy got in the action here as well, completing his lone pass for a pickup of 29 yards to Sam Tanner. Defensively, R-MC surrendered 21 points in the first half, but tightened up to allow just seven in the second frame including a fourth quarter shutout. Ryan Burns posted a game-high 15 tackles with 10 solo stops. He also intercepted a would-be touchdown pass that created a possible 13-point swing with R-MC leading 28-21. He also broke up four passes, giving him an ODAC-best 16 on the season. De'Angelo Barr intercepted a pass to go with seven stops, while Jake Pinkston recorded a sack amongst his seven tackles.

WASHINGTON AND LEE claimed its seventh ODAC title in program history with a 48-21 win over Shenandoah in the season finale.  It was also W&L’s fourth conference crown in the past eight years.  Overall, W&L has won ODAC titles in 1981, 1985, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2015 and 2017. First-year running back Josh Breece rushed for 280 yards and three touchdowns on just 21 carries against the Hornets.  Breece padded his total with a 95-yard touchdown run with 46 seconds remaining.  The run set a school record for the longest rush breaking the mark of 94 yards set by Chris Sullivan '02 during the 1999 campaign.  His overall yardage total finished one yard shy of the school record and was the ninth-best total in conference history.  He now has a school-record 1,656 yards and 18 touchdowns for the year, both of which lead the ODAC. His rushing yardage is third-most in ODAC history, while his rushing TDs are tied for fifth. Breece now has eight 100-yard rushing efforts on the season, including a current streak of seven in a row.  The eight 100-yard games ties the school’s season record and the seven in a row is the second-longest streak in program history.  He has three games of 200 or more yards, including each of the past two weeks. Senior linebacker Max Garrett finished with a career-best 18 tackles in the game.  He finished the regular season with an ODAC-best 106 tackles and he moved into fifth on the school’s all-time tackles list with 373 total stops. The Generals produced 613 yards of total offense against the Hornets, the second-highest total this season and the sixth-best in program history.  With the 466 rushing yards, the Generals moved their season total to 4,215 yards, second-best in program history.  Overall, W&L averages 480.8 yards and 38.3 points per game.
