Print Story | Email Story
Boston, MA – Williams College placed three offensive standouts on this year's Div. II-III All-New England Team in senior WR Jon Drenckhahn, senior center Chris Kenney and junior QB Pat Lucey. The Williams football team finished the 2006 season 8-0 and extended their win streak to 14 largely through the efforts of this trio. Drenckhahn became the all-time leader in receptions at Williams by hauling in a NESCAC leading 51 passes to end his career with 135 catches. It was the second year in a row that Drenckhahn led NESCAC in catches. Drenckhahn's 51 catches were good for 762 yards (95.2/game) and seven TDs. The honors continue to roll in for Pat Lucey. Twice this season he was named the NESCAC Offensive Player of the Week and the ECAC Div. III Northeast Offensive Player of the Week and was selected as the First Team All-NESCAC quarterback. He also won the Boston Globe Gold Helmet award for his role in the Ephs' 41-16 win over Trinity that snapped the Bantams' 31 game win streak. Lucey (Plymouth, Mass.) recorded a NESCAC-high 204.2 yards of total offense per game, on 191.0 yards passing and 13.2 yards rushing. He also led the NESCAC in pass efficiency with a 165.8 rating. He completed 112 of his 168 attempts on the season — 66.7 percent — throwing for 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions. Kenney, a three-year starter on the offensive line, was the lone starting offensive lineman returning this season for the Ephs and he was instrumental in helping Williams lead NESCAC in yards per game with 402.2. Previously he was named First Team All-NESCAC and he has been invited to the Aztec Bowl to play for the NCAA Div. III all stars vs. a team representing Mexico in December. The team will be honored at the New England Football Writers Banquet on Thursday, December 14 at Casa di Fiore in Wilmington. People interested in attending should contact Dick Lipe at Bentley College at 781-891-2334.
