Grayson Overstreet rushed for 196 yards and a pair of scores as Emory & Henry beat Ferrum in the season opener for both teams. Hunter Taylor was 9-27 passing for 101 yards for the Wasps (1-0, 1-0 ODAC). Titus Jones was 16-39 passing for 199 yards for Ferrum (0-10, 0-1 ODAC), while Tmahdae Penn made five receptions for 104 yards. The shutout loss was Ferrum’s first in 20 years, since falling 10-0 to Emory & Henry September 9, 2000 in Ferrum.

So I called T.J.Hes referring to T.J. Tester another dominant force from Staunton River and lifelong friend, who had a season under his belt at Emory and Henry. ? He said, are you serious? and I said, Yeah Im pretty serious, Overstreet said. Tester said Grayson is no really happy at Richmond. And I said, Well we can make him happy at Emory, said Emory and Henry head football coach Curt Newsome. Thus the door was open for this Golden Eagle to soar once again in Southwest, Virginia. A dynamic duo, teammates and lifelong friends ready to create quite the buzz in the Wasps backfield-- in due time.
