ECCC Offensive Standouts in Co-Lin Game 

East Central Community College running back Rod Hawkins (22) of Union takes the handoff from quarterback Blake Matherne (1) of Boothville, La., during last week’s 42-35 loss to Copiah-Lincoln Community College, which eliminated the Warriors from a possible berth in the MACJC South Division playoffs.  Hawkins led EC in rushing against the Wolves with 11 carries for 47 yards and one touchdown - a four-yard run which provided EC with a 28-27 lead early in fourth quarter action. Matherne, a Belle Chasse High School product who continues to be recognized as one of the state’s top passers, completed eight of 18 passes for 184 yards and two scores in the loss – a 41-yard strike to Corey Collier of Tuscaloosa County (Ala.) High School and a 24-yard touchdown toss to Zach Pendleton, a product of Forest Hill High School. The Warriors conclude the 2010 campaign by battling Southwest Mississippi College Thursday, Oct. 28. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. at Bailey Stadium on the Decatur campus.
