Fighting for a spot in the NCAA DII Playoffs, No. 15 West Alabama staved off a late comeback attempt by North Greenville after the Trailblazers' onside kick attempt fell shy of 10 yards to prevail 17-14. UWA Junior quarterback Spencer Arceneaux ran for a score, while throwing another, in a 13/24 for 157-yard passing performance.
The No. 1 Valdosta State Blazers showed the nation why they are the top team in Division II in a 52-0 rout over the Chowan Hawks. Blazer running back Blake Hester racked up a hat trick of scores, gaining a season-best 121 yards on the ground. Fellow back Alfonso Franklin also shined with a running score of his own and 116 yards.
A career day for Tony Bartalo as the Junior quarterback threw six touchdown passes and threw for over 260 yards and 68% that fueled No. 21 West Florida's 70-0 win over the Erskine Flying Fleet.
