Offensive Player of the Week
Willie Logan| Bridgewater| Jr.| Quarterback
Logan, a junior from Luray, Va., helped direct Bridgewater to its third straight win to start the season and fourth straight dating back to last season. Logan was strong through the air on a day when the BC rushing offense was held in check as he went 17-of-31 for 261 yards and threw for both of the Eagles' touchdowns. He hit Tyler Moneymaker with a 27-yard touchdown pass to open the game's scoring, and then found Shawn Lee for a 63-yard touchdown to put Bridgewater ahead, 14-7, in the third quarter. He spread the ball around to his receivers and backs, completing passes to nine different players. Through three games, Logan has thrown four touchdown passes against just one interception.
Defensive Player of the Week
Danny Grogg| Bridgewater| Sr.| Defensive Line
Grogg, a senior from Harrisonburg, Va., had a big day along the interior of the Eagles defensive line as he helped Bridgewater move to 3-0. The BC defense held Shenandoah to just 212 yards of total offense in the league opener for both squads, which also mark the first ODAC competition for new confernece member SU. Grogg made eight stops on the day and was a staple in the Hornets' backfield with three tackles for a loss that cost SU 10 yards of offense. He also was in on both of Bridgewater's sacks with a solo effort and then combined with interior line-mate Joel Francis on a sack that ended the game as Shenandoah was attempting to work into field goal position to potentially tie the game.
BRIDGEWATERmoved to 3-0 for the sixth
time since 2000 with a 17-14 victory over Shenandoah at Jopson
Field on Saturday afternoon. Bridgewater also moved to 13-1
all-time against the Hornets. Freshman kicker John Griggs booted a
33-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to break a
14-all score and provide the game-deciding points. On the
offensive end, junior Willie Logan produced when the Eagles needed
him, connecting on touchdown passes of 63 and 27 yards -
Bridgewater's lone scores on the day. Sophomore Jacob Wright was
limited to just 50 yards on 16 carries as the Hornets' defense held
the Bridgewater rushing attack in check. The
Eagles' defensive unit shined yet again as it held Shenandoah to
under 100 yards on the ground to mark the third time this season
that the Eagles have kept their opponent below the century mark on
the ground. The Eagles notched 15 tackles for a loss on the day and
a pair of sacks as they limited Shenandoah to just 212 total yards
of offense and a 1-for-14 effort on third down. Bridgewater also
forced a turnover for the third straight week with a forced fumble.
Danny Grogg had a big day along the interior of the line,
making eight stops with three tackles for a loss and 1.5 sacks.
David Palmer had 12 stops while Joel Francis also had double
figures with 10 tackles.

two-touchdown effort from Anthony Carter. Carlos Gonzalez
