ODAC FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK | WEEK 10

FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Tristian Bailey | Guilford | Fy. | Defensive Back
Bailey, a first-year from Statesville, N.C., played a big part in Guilford shutting out Averett to snap the Quakers 18-game skid against conference opponents. Bailey, who made four solo tackles on the day, intercepted a pair of passes and returned one to the house for a pick-six. That takeaway-turned-touchdown came late in the third quarter when he stepped in front of a would-be receiver to intercept the pass. He then galloped 28-yards to pay-dirt for the game's final score in Guilfod's 26-0 victory. Bailey later added another interception in the fourth quarter, stopping a Cougars drive as they crossed into Quaker territory. For the season, Bailey has registerd 25 tackles with 23 solo efforts. He has intercepted three passes, tied for second in the league.
FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Jaylen Wood | Bridgewater | Jr. | Quarterback
Wood, a junior from Moseley, Va., helped Bridgewater to a 13-6 victory over Washington and Lee to keep the Eagles in solo second in the ODAC at 9-1 overall and 5-1 in league play. Wood played a part in both of Bridgewater's touchdowns, both coming via the passing game. He was 12-of-16 for a 75.0-percent completion percentage. He threw for 115 yards and touchdowns to Dylan Maclachlan and Freddie Watkins. Wood also ran for 44 yards on 10 carries. The Wood-to-Maclachlan touchdown covered 42 yards. Wood eluded the rush and scrambled to his right. Just before reaching the line of scrimmage, he whipped a pass to Maclachlan 20 yards down field. The receiver sprinted the rest of the way and crossed the goalline with a dive with 19-seconds on the clock before halftime. Wood hooked up with Watkins on a nine-yard run-pass option sprint out to the weak side. After faking a handoff, Wood rolled to his left and found Watkins out the out towards the sideline where he reached the ball over the line for the game's final points with 3:04 left in the third quarter. That capped a 15-play drive that covered 77 yards in 8:26. For the season, Wood has thrown for 764 yards and seven touchdowns on 69-of-108 passing. He has also run for 104 yard and a touchdown.
