It wasn’t as big a week for local football players on collegiate teams as last week, but there were still some noteworthy performances.

Last week’s hero for Georgia Tech, Calvin Johnson (Sandy Creek) added two catches for 45 yards in Tech’s loss to UNC. Reuben Houston (Starr’s Mill) had four tackles and an assist.

Other players who had got on the statistics sheets for their collegiate teams were:

• John Deraney (Fayette County) kicked two extra points and kicked six punts for 253 yards in NC State’s loss to Ohio State.

• Jason Earwood (Starr’s Mill) had two tackles and an assist in Georgia Southern’s win over Wofford.

• Johnny Edwards (Starr’s Mill) had three tackles and an assist in Wake Forest’s win over North Carolina A&T.

• Kedric Golston (Sandy Creek) had an assisted tackle in Georiga’s win over Marshall. He left the game with a hip bruise but is expected to return for the LSU game on Oct. 2.

• Jermaine Harris (Sandy Creek) had three solo tackles and one assist. He also broke up a pass in South Carolina’s win over South Florida.

• Will Judson (Sandy Creek) had one punt return for six yards and four kick returns for 71 yards for Florida A&M in their loss to Temple.
