Hudson Valley Standards In Game Against Navy Prep
Newport, R.I., October 21 - The Hudson Valley Community College football team suffered a 41-28 defeat against Navy Prep this afternoon, but two Vikings battled their way into the Troy college's record books.
First-year wide receiver Shawn Miller (Troy) had 11 catches for 172 yards and two touchdowns, smashing Hudson Valley's mark for receptions in a game.

Miller now has 33 receptions for 649 yards and seven touchdowns.
In the first quarter against Navy Prep, second-year tailback Gary Jones (Ravena) scored his 15th rushing touchdown of the season, surpassing Dennis Green's 1971 record (14 touchdowns).
