HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Hampden-Sydney College senior running back
Terry Hicks (Clayton, NC) has once-again been named to the
D3football.com Team of the Week for games played October 9-10. He was selected for his game-high 217 yards rushing and two touchdowns during a 39-33 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) road win on Oct. 10 at Roanoke College in Salem. It's the second time this season that Hicks has been named to the national team following his school-record 316 yards during a 43-41 non-conference road win at the University of New England on September 19 in Biddeford, Maine.
Hicks rushed for his game-high 217 yards on a career-high 37 attempts and two touchdowns at Roanoke. He scored on a 17-yard TD run up the middle of the field with 33-seconds left in the first half for a 22-17 halftime advantage, and added a six-yard TD run around the right side with 6:39 remaining for a 39-25 margin, before helping secure the road win with three first downs on the ground to run-out the clock on the final possession that began with 4:05 remaining, carrying the ball five times for 38 yards. The leading rusher in the ODAC and NCAA Division III had his third-straight 200-yard game, and has now rushed for 760 yards in the last three games—he totals 971 yards rushing on 148 attempts (6.6) in five games (194.2) this season. Hicks now totals 2,927 career yards rushing to rank fifth all-time at the College and adds 30 career rushing touchdowns that is tied for eighth all-time (Nash Nance '15). Terry is the first player in 51-year history of the ODAC with three-straight 200-yard rushing games ... running behind the starting offensive line unit, affectionately known as The Rock, consisting of junior left tackle
Thomas Wilson (Charlotte, NC), junior left guard
Cash Topinka (Charlotte, NC), sophomore center
Braden McIntire (Louisa), junior right guard
Bill Ball (Yorktown) and junior right tackle

H-SC will play just its second home game this season – first since Sept. 12 – against Guilford (NC) College on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 1 p.m. on Fulton Field at Lewis C. Everett Stadium. It'll be Homecoming Weekend at the College, and in addition, the 1976 Football Team will be recognized at halftime – that team hosted the first Division III regular-season game ever televised by a major network (ABC), and defeated then co-No. 1 Madison College (JMU) 21-14 on Sept. 25, 1976.
