FOOTBALL

Sproles, a junior from Norton, Va., helped the Emory & Henry defense hold Randolph-Macon to just 10 points as E&H opened its ODAC schedule with a 17-10 win. Sproles recorded 10 or more tackles for the third straight week, and now leads the ODAC with 53 total tackles. He made 11 stops from his linebacker position, but also intercepted a pair of passes. His second interception preserved a 3-0 second quarter lead and perhaps the flow of the rest of the game as he intercepted a pass in the Wasps' end zone with R-MC on the three-yard line. E&H scored on the ensuing drive, opening up a 10-0 advantage.
