Micah Knight ran for more than 200 yards in a 41-13 win over Franklin County.  He also eclipsed the 200-yard mark against Halifax County. He ended up with more than 1,200 yards rushing for the year.

John Fulton was a more than capable backup as a Sophomore.  He also handled G.W.'s punting duties in 2000.

We liked calling 5'4"  150-pound Fullback Demetrius Jackson "The Midget".  He's easily our favorite player, combining speed with unexpected power out of the Fullback slot.

Byron Martin was a solid performer in 2000 at Wingback---he even filled in on defense.

Kenny Lewis followed up on a spectacular Freshman season with a solid sophomore campaign as a backup tailback and kick returner.
