    ing it for a 2-yard touchdown. The Wasps were fortunate that although Ferrum outgained them in total offense by more than 100 yards, the Panthers did not take advantage most of the opportunities they were given. Senior Joey Daniels was one of the reasons the Panthers did not capitalize on their opportunities. Daniels had two interceptions and returned them for a combined total of 46 yards. For his performance in Saturdays game, Daniels earned ODAC Defensive Player of the Week honors. This is an award that Wasp defenders got used to earning last season, with several returning starters having earned the award before. Kevin Worley led the team with eight tackles, while Dustin Rexrode and Andrew Giordani had seven, and Bryan Furr, Tyler Brown and Evin OSullivan all recorded six. The team also recorded two sacks. The Wasps take on Greensboro at home on Saturday, Sept. 13. The game will be the first one played at the new Fred Selfe Athletic Stadium, which will be dedicated before the game on Saturday. Fans might want to take in the new surroundings and the new look of the stadium, so it is recommended that observers arrive at the stadium as early as possible. Gametime is 1 p.m. NOTES: Contrary to the Sunday edition of The Bristol Herald Courier, the Ferrum game was played at Ferrum College.

    The Emory & Henry Wasp football team got their season off to a good start on Saturday, Sept. 6 by going on the road and beating Ferrum 26-21. The Wasps withstood a furious comeback by the Panthers after a 19-point lead was cut to a 5-point lead in under two minutes late in the fourth quarter. The scare wasnt over for the Wasps until the Panthers turned the ball over on downs with twelve seconds left in the game, sealing the deal once and for all for the Wasps. Junior quarterback Daniel Booher went 13-22 for 123 yards and threw for three touchdowns in the game with only one interception. On the receiving end, sophomore Greg Swofford was the recipient of five passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns. Josh Castle also had a receiving touchdown on one reception. Though the Wasps didnt have as successful as a ground game as they are used to having, heavy doses of sophomore Daron Richardson and junior Cain Ringstaff kept the ball moving. Richardson carried the ball eight times for 55 yards, including a 29-yard jaunt. That was good enough for a stellar 6.9 average per carry. Senior Matt Baldwin also joined in on the scoring on the defensive side of the ball by recovering a fumble and return-

    Volleyball team impresses with 3-1 record in early tourneys

    With a 3-1 record at Emory & Henry's 34th Ladies Volleyball Tournament, the Lady Wasps stung the competition. The ladies placed 3-0 victories in their matches against Meredith and the University of Virginia at Wise. The tournament was held on Aug. 29 and Aug. 30. Going into the second day of play, Nikki Rogich, a senior and one of the team captains, said that they needed to get out there and "bring it to them." The girls did just that, winning both of their matches for the day. The girls played hard, posting some great stats. Rachel Fertitta, who made the All Tournament Team for 2008, had 59 kills and hit 41 percent. Samantha Shepherd also had 45 kills, while Reagan Clarke and Ashley Masterson had 84 and 60 assist each. Twyla Sessor had 70 digs,

    and both Rachel and Samantha had 11 blocks each. With their "first game jitters" out of the way, Nikki is looking for the team to finish at the top of the ODAC this season. Coach Cassie Pochyla said she was "pleased at going 3 and 1 at our own tournament. It shows that we've got something to build on." The first day of the tournament proved to be a shaky start for the ladies, losing 1-3 to Southern Virginia and beating Milligan by the score of 3-2. "There are more freshmen than upperclassmen," said Nikki. "We are just learning to play together." Overall, she felt that the tournament was "good competition against real good teams." She also requests that everyone "come out and support the team, because we need the fans. Since then, the team has upped their record to 8-1, including a 4-0 showing at the Roanoke Invitational Tournament.
