DEFIANCE, Ohio – Defiance College's Joemese Scott has been selected as one of 25 players from around the nation to make up the D3football.com Team of the Week for the first week of the 2010 campaign.
Scott exploded for 3.5 sacks to account for 19 negative yards and added seven total tackles in DC's, 19-13, double-overtime loss at Muskingum on September 4. The junior defensive end anchored the stout showing from the Yellow Jacket defense, as DC held the Muskies to just 57 rushing yards on 50 attempts and 144 total yards of offense on the afternoon.
Scott's 3.5 sacks helped Defiance post eight sacks and 15 tackles for lost yardage in the season opener, marking its highest sack total since racking up 8.5 in a 20-7 win at Anderson one year ago and its most hits for negative yardage since recording 18 against Bluffton on November 10 of 2007.
Scott and the Jackets will face their next challenge on Saturday night, when DC travels to Adrian for a 6:00 pm start. The game will be available via webcast at www.defianceathletics.com/video.
