The Greensboro College football team had both exciting victories and memorable individual highlights this year.
GC dominated Gallaudet, 48-7, in the second week of the season. Senior Rod Hill, who was later named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week, had two touchdowns on special teams in the game.
The Pride also celebrated a 21-19 Homecoming win over Averett, which snapped a four-game winless streak against the rival Cougars.
While GC's 2-8 record was not up to Head Coach Neal Mitchell's expectations, The Pride fielded a competitive unit that was tied at Ferrum with 2 minutes left and lost 3 games by 6 points.
GC had some superb individual play and earned 8 USA South All conference honors, including first teamers Torrey Lowe, Brick Crowder, J.R. Hair and Logan Greene.
Jack of all trades Lowe recorded his third straight year leading GC in all purpose yards and has 4,185 for his 3-year career. Lowe also tops The Pride all-time charts in receptions (169) and receiving yards (1,762).
Sophomore linebacker Crowder set a new single-season mark for tackles with 133. Greensboro also set a team record with 11 blocked kicks during the season. Senior defensive lineman Logan Greene, who was picked to his third straight USAS first team, led the club with 3 blocks.
Sophomore quarterback Michael Caparaso threw for 1693 yards, the second most in GC history. Senior Tim Bagamary had 651 receiving yards, another second best in the GC record book.
