Underclassman Eric Jeffreys Comes Up Big Against Lincoln

Underclassman Eric Jeffreys came into Saturday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. He was unstoppable on Saturday, picking up 119 receiving yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 33 yards and one score.

This is the second loss in a row for Moses Brown and nudges their season record down to 0-2. Looking ahead, Jeffreys and the Quakers will face off against Coventry at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Calvin Hill Iii stepped things up a notch to give Westerly the 'W'. Hill Iii was in on the action, making nine total tackles.

On the season, Hill Iii has averaged 8.7 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging one receiving yard per game. This year he is averaging 30.67 receiving yards.
