Jay’s Hendricks Part Of USA Jag’s Big Win
October 10, 2010
Former Jay High School football standout Rush Hendricks made a couple of big plays Saturday for the University of South Alabama as the Jaguars beat Missouri S&T 45-6 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
Hendricks was credited with one reception for eight yards and a single solo tackle for a five-yard loss for the Miners, both in the fourth quarter.
“I thought the defense played very well,” USA head coach Joey Jones said. “Obviously, early they made a drive, but as always our coaches on the sideline made adjustments and our kids adjusted to what they were doing. From that point on, they did a really good job. I was real proud of them today.”
Hendricks, who was a four-year starter for the Royals, also had one reception for a 16-yards two weeks ago in USA’s 64-0 win over Edward Waters College.
The USA Jags are now 5-0.

With an even five minutes to go in the game, Holmes County managed another touchdown, 35-14.
“We made some adjustments with our linebackers, and we started to get a little bit of pass rush,” Wheatley said. “We broke on the ball and we played the ball in the secondary. And I was so glad to see that from the previous week at Baker where we struggled a little back there. I thought we played the ball well and took advantage of a short field a couple of times.”
“We had a couple of mistakes in the second half. We’ve got to correct some penalties and other issues like that, but overall I thought it was a tremendous win for us,” Wheatley said.
The Chiefs (5-0, 4-0) will be on the road next week against Freeport (4-1, 4-0).
