Three Greensboro College senior footballers played in the 2009 Division III Football Senior Classic in Salem, Virginia on December 5th.
Brandon Drumgoole (Greensboro, NC/Ragsdale),
Andreas Platt (Greensboro, NC/Ragsdale) and
Brandon Richardson (Charlotte, NC/West Charlotte) represented The Pride.
The North won the game 14-0, However, the GC gridders did well for themselves.
According to D3football.com reporter Ryann Tipps "Greensboro's entrants into the game were among the South's stars: defensive back Andreas Platt nabbed his team's first interception and was crucial to slowing the North's passing game; defensive lineman Brandon Drumgoole pressured his opposing quarterback relentlessly."

Platt, who had an interception in the contest, enjoyed the experience. “This is a great opportunity to represent Division III football because a lot of guys don't get to represent," he told Tipps. "It's always about Division I, Division II, and that's pretty much it. That's all you hear about,” said Platt, the Greensboro defensive back. “But we get a chance to show that we have talent as players.”
Drumgoole played just about every play on the defensive line for the South. Richardson rotated series at tight end.
“We are extremely proud that these seniors will got the opportunity to represent Greensboro College and compete against some of the best Division III players in the nation," said GC Head Coach Randy Hunt. "This has been a breakthrough year in many ways. These honors are another testament to the progress our program made this season."
