Running back Josh provided three long scoring plays including runs of 39 and 37 yards, but it was his first that set the tone for the game.

  • ODAC Football Play of the Week - Week 8 | Bridgewater

    Bridgewater got several big plays from its offense in its 44-41 overtime setback to Randolph-Macon, and none induced more excitement that Demetreus Jalepes’ 38-yard screen pass touchdown to help the Eagles come all the way back from a 17-0 deficit. Jalepes grabbed the floated pass from Jay Scroggins and jumped thru one tackle attempt before running over a second person trying to make the stop. He eluded two more tacklers before diving over the goal line to knot the score at 17-all with 4:17 on the third quarter clock.

  • ODAC Football Play of the Week - Week 8 | Emory & Henry

    Emory & Henry pulled out a big 52-50 win over Shenandoah on Saturday, with much of that production coming from the Hunter Taylor to Derrick Yates connection. The pair hooked up eight times for 148 yards and three touchdowns on the day, and was so fruitful that Yates even returned the favor with a 17-yard pass to his quarterback. On this play, Taylor found Yates for their third TD play with 13:54 on the second quarter clock. Taylor lofted a 35-yard pass to Yates outside the numbers at the 5-yard line, which he took the rest of the way for a 24-14 lead.

  • ODAC Football Play of the Week - Week 8 | Ferrum

    Brian Mann was a big play machine in the Panthers 38-35 last-second setback to Washington and Lee. Mann found the end zone three times including runs of 71 and 33 yards. However, his longest TD was his first and came via special teams. After the Generals took a 14-0 lead with 2:06 to go in the first quarter, Mann cut that lead in half with an 88-yard kickoff return for a score. He left little doubt about his intentions as he crossed the field after picking up the bounding kickoff, ran past several would-be tacklers before final running thru an arm-tackle on the way to paydirt. Mann finished with 273 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns.

    Guilford put together a strong performance despite its 38-35 last-second loss at Hampden-Sydney. The Quakers even got a contribution from the special teams with 6:56 on the first quarter clock. Receiver Montek Johnson turned punt-blocker as he came thru the center of H-SC’s line almost untouched and nearly took the ball off the Tigers punter’s foot before blocking the kick and returning the loose ball for a touchdown. The score put the Quakers ahead, 14-8. Johnson later added a second touchdown receiving as he caught four passes for 60 yards on the day.

  • ODAC Football Play of the Week - Week 8 | Hampden-Sydney

    There are few things more exciting that making a play in crunch time to decide a contest, and that’s exactly what Hampden-Sydney kicker Rhett Anderson did against Guilford on Saturday.

Eight plays later, H-SC was on the Quakers 29-yard line with Anderson trotting out to the field to attempt a game-winning kick. Anderson laid into the football and sent it thru the uprights from 46-yards away for a 38-35 victory to stay within a game of the top of the ODAC standings.
