TRAFFORD, Pa. (Nov. 6) – The Waynesburg defense posted gawdy numbers during its 40-14 win at Geneva on Saturday. Freshman Jumah Byrd (Washington, D.C. / Coolidge) was honored for the role he played in his team's nine-sack, 13.0-tackle for loss showing by being named Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Newcomer of the Week.
