Player
of the Week
Teamkong
The
sun came up on Sunday! Yes, even after Pittsburg State
University’s upsetting loss to Emporia, the world goes on.
The season goes on.
Remember
back in 1991? Pitt
State lost to East Texas State, tied Rolla, and struggled with
Southwest Baptist. But
the senior leaders stepped up, the team came together, and the
rest is . . . history.
There
are good things that come from a loss.
The lessons learned can be invaluable.
The coaches and players will be stronger and better
because of it.
As
bad as some think the team played on Saturday, there were very
good individual performances.
The most outstanding is this weeks Teamkong Player of the
Week, Germaine Race.
The
freshman from Warrensburg continues to look much more mature
than an eighteen year old rookie.
His performance on Saturday was excellent.
He carried the ball 16 times for 102 yards, and two
touchdown runs.
His
first touchdown run, of twenty-seven yards might be his most
exciting run as a Gorilla.
He broke tackles, showed his excellent speed, and
deceptive power in a leaping, diving, pylon breaking touchdown
run.
He
gets better and better each week.
Let’s hope he averages 25 carries a game for the rest
of the season. Germaine Race is a special talent.
Congrats to Germaine for winning this award for the
second time this season.
