W&L Football Falls in Double Overtime to R-MC, 15-9

ASHLAND, Va. -- Randolph-Macon sophomore running back Jimmy Stevens scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in double-overtime to lift the Yellow Jackets to a 15-9 win over Washington and Lee in ODAC football action on Saturday afternoon.

Randolph-Macon knotted the game at 9-9 as sophomore placekicker Reggie Moore booted a 25-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining in regulation, sending the game into overtime.

In the first overtime, W&L had the ball first, but could not score as freshman placekicker Ben Long's (Frankford, W.Va./Hargrave Military) 42-yard field goal attempt was wide-left.

The Yellow Jackets (1-4, 1-1) countered by driving inside the W&L 1-yard line, but the Generals' defense held and Moore's 18-yard field goal attempt was wide-left setting up the second overtime period.

R-MC got the ball first in the second overtime, setting up Stevens' game-winning touchdown. However, the snap was low on the PAT attempt, opening the door for W&L (1-3, 0-1).

On W&L's ensuing possession, the Generals faced a fourth-and-goal on the R-MC 12-yard line, but senior quarterback Peter Dean's (Vienna, Va./James Madison) fade pass for junior wide receiver Taylor Callaham (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) in the corner of the end zone fell to the turf and the Yellow Jackets walked away with the win.

Long booted three field goals on the day, including a 42-yarder early in the fourth quarter.  Freshman running back Richard Garland (Fort Worth, Texas/Arlington Heights) rushed for 62 yards on 18 carries, while sophomore running back Michael Lackett (Allenwood, N.J./Wall Township) gained 57 yards on 15 carries.  Dean completed 11-of-26 passes for 124 yards.  Senior linebacker Ben Krasnoff (Towson, Md./Towson) paced the W&L defense with nine tackles and a sack.

Stevens led the Macon offense with 71 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries.  Junior quarterback Mike Jenkins completed 13-of-34 passes for 159 yards, while sophomore wide receiver Victor Wise snared six passes for 81 yards.  Senior defensive end Tiko Williams led the Macon defense with nine tackles and a sack.

Washington and Lee returns to action on Saturday as it hosts Catholic for a 1:30 pm contest.
