ASHLAND–On Saturday, Sept. 20, three Windsor High School Duke graduates showed what they were made of — all starting on the offensive line for the Randolph Macon College Yellow Jackets. It was a great throwback to when they played at Windsor High for the Dukes under Coach Chuck Parrish.

Coach Pedro Aruza (Head Coach for 11 years) at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland recruited Lance Wall and Justin Daniels in 2010. He then returned to Duke country and recruited Nick Powell in 2011.

The RMC Yellow Jackets defeated Sewanee University 34-20.

These men are not only athletes but also excellent students receiving academic awards every year they have attended RMC. The odds of this brotherhood and experience for these three young men is truly “History In the Macon”… a once in a life time for the coaches, Justin, WHS class of 2011, Lance, class of 2011, and Nick, class of 2012.

Nick is a member of RMC’s class of 2016, while Lance and Justin are members of the class of 2015.
