ECU defensive stats vs. SMU: SEG’s Venable makes his mark

East Carolina University(ECU) lost to Southern Methodist University(SMU), 28-21, on Saturday night, and many of the Pirates were slowed by the flu according to play-by-play man Jeff Charles and we did get a new name on our defensive stats sheet.

No Derek Blacknall(Dudley), Jack Schultz(Grimsley) or Dustin Lineback(SEG) this week, but we did see Justin Venable(Southeast Guilford), on the stats sheet and good job by Justin a red-shirt freshman for the ECU Pirates.

Walk-on red-shirt punter Matt Millisor(Page) was at the Page-Grimsley football game over at Jamieson Stadium on Friday night and Matt will be the top punter/kicker for the ECU Pirates in the next few years. Extremely hard worker and a great kid and on to the defensive stats from Saturday night’s game courtesy of Big Jim Modlin ECU Class of 1970.
