WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Oct. 28) – Though the 2009 football regular season ends for the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 14 at Washington & Jefferson, one player on the team is guaranteed the opportunity to compete in one more game this year.
Senior defensive back Scott Cree has been invited to take part in the 2009 D-III Football Senior Classic on Saturday, Dec. 5. The game will be held at Salem Stadium in Salem, Va. and is being hosted by the Collegiate Development Football League.
Around 90 of the nation’s top D-III senior football players selected from 238 teams will play in front of a crowd that is expected to include league representatives from NFL, CFL, UFL, Arena2 and the CDFL.
After earning All-American status as a junior last year, Cree has continued to be an explosive returner and an important part of the Waynesburg secondary.
He returned a kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown against Geneva, and is tied for the team lead in interceptions with two, one of which he ran back for a school-record 100-yard touchdown, after moving from cornerback to safety this season. He is also fifth on the team in total tackles with 30.
