Although Western Carolina’s Donnavan Spencer found the end zone three times on the ground for the Catamounts, it was the Mercer run game that made the difference as the Bears played keep-away with the football all Saturday afternoon, running for over 300 yards and chewing more than forty minutes off the clock on their way to a 45-28 win.
Spencer, a former Vance standout, now has twenty career
scores, inching him closer to a top ten spot in WCU history. Former Southern
Guilford defensive tackle Roman Johnson, along with Ty Harris, both led the defense
with eleven tackles each on the afternoon.
