game for Junior running
back Bernard Scott.
Scott rushed for 231
yards and three touchdowns
on only 18 carries his best
outing of the season. Scott
who was named LSC South
Offensive Player of the Week
for his performance scored
on runs of 14 62 'and 80
yards and his work on the
ground was the third-best
single-game rushing perfor-
mance In school history.
Head coach Chris Thomsen
said he was most proud of
Scott for being an all-around
back against Angelo State.
"What I'm more proud
of him is he's trying to be a
more complete back" Thom-
sen said. "We ask our backs
to catch run and block."
Scott caught six passes
for 63 yards and Thomsen
said his blocking was a big
reason why Junior quarter-
back Billy Malone threw for
383 yards in the win.

of volleyball we were playing
at Washburn."
