WASHINGTON, Pa. — The 12th ranked Washington & Jefferson football team rolled up 242 rushing yards and forced five Bethany College turnovers in a 28-3 victory in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference game Saturday night at Cameron Stadium. The win was the seventh straight in the head-to-head series for W&J over Bethany. The Bison now haven’t won in Washington in nearly 40 years (1982). Joey Koroly scored from two yards out in the second quarter, the only points of the first half. Bethany recovered an onside kick to open the second half, then settled for a 27-yard field goal from Sean Cole. Justin Heacock hit Cameron O’Brien in the back of the endzone as W&J answered less than two minutes later. Justin Huss and EJ Thompson added rushing touchdowns for the Red & Black to close the scoring. W&J’s defense picked off four passes and held Bethany to 14 yards rushing, 227 total offense in the game. W&J improves to 3-0 and will travel to Case Western Reserve University next Saturday.
Earlier in the day, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the College dedicated a Pennsylvania State Marker in honor of Dr. Charles “Pruner” West. Then, at Cameron Stadium, the 1921 W&J team was celebrated on the 100th anniversary of their season that culminated with a berth in the Tournament of Roses game. West was the first black quarterback to play in what is now known as the Rose Bowl. The Presidents played the entire game with just 11 players. Descendants of a number of team members were in attendance. The game ended 0-0, the only scoreless tie in the history of the game.
