37 New Faces to Join 2009 Football Squad
(May 27, 2009) HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA--Hampden-Sydney head football coach Marty Favret has released the list of 37 incoming freshmen set to report to for the 2009 season. The new faces will join the bulk of the 2008 team to try and hoist the school's sixth ODAC banner and second Championship in three years. In order to comply with NCAA rules, the list of recruits includes only those student-athletes who have made deposits on tuition and are set to report in August for football camp and classes. The list includes players from nine states, including North Carolina, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, West Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia, while 26 players are in-state recruits. "We’re thrilled about the football class of 2013," said Favret. "We feel we’ve improved ourselves on both sides of the ball with some size and a host of playmakers. Though we have an experienced group returning this fall, I’d be surprised if some of these freshmen don’t contribute immediately.” more...

R-MC Storms Back to Upset Tigers, Earns ODAC Title
(November 15, 2008) HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA--H-SC senior signal caller Corey Sedlar threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns and classmate Josh Simpson caught 12 passes for 114 yards and ran for a 16-yard score, but visiting Randolph-Macon (6-4, 4-2 ODAC) scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to rally from a 21-10 deficit and stun the Tigers, 31-21 on Senior Day. The Jackets' win coupled with Bridgewater's surprising upset of former ODAC leader Catholic University, gives R-MC its first league crown in nearly a decade. After falling behind 10-7 early in the third quarter, Hampden-Sydney (8-2, 4-2 ODAC) used a Sedlar to Adam Gillette 39-yard strike to take a 14-10 lead, then extended that advantage to 21-10 after Simpson's 16-yard scamper with 1:29 to play in the third period. But Macon reserve tailback Steve Matthews rumbled for two scores in the final 15 minutes, his second putting the Jackets up 24-21 with just 2:14 to play, and defensive end Tristan Carr sacked Sedlar and forced a fumble on the Tigers' final drive of the game, picking up the loose ball and sprinting 65 yards for the clinching score with 57 seconds to play. Josh Miller had a monster day at linebacker for the Tigers, with 16 total tackles, while Trevor Ikwild notched an interception. The Tigers outgained the Jackets 424-346 on the afternoon, but Macon made it count on the ground, out-rushing H-SC 158-23 en route to the win.
