Emory and Henry won two conference championships, with a 4–0 record in the Smoky Mountain Conference and a 2–0 record in the first season of competition for the Virginia Little Six Conference. Another rarity was Emory and Henry's two postseason bowl games, a Thanksgiving Day game against the Hanover Panthers in the Burley Bowl and a contest against Saint Vincent in the Tangerine Bowl.
