SUWANEE,
Ga. – William Lawrimore of Millsaps College,
a 5-8, 169-pound junior punter from Tampa, Fla., has been selected
the SCAC Football Special Teams Player of the Week for games
played Thursday, September 11 – Sunday, September 14
and has also been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week.
Lawrimore
had hands down his best outing in a Millsaps uniform in a 34-14
win over Belhaven, averaging
48.3 yards-per-punt in seven punts, including two that fell inside
the 20-yard line and one touchback.
With
his feet standing in the middle of the Majors' end zone midway
through the 3rd quarter with a 6-point lead and the game uncertain,
Lawrimore had a game-changing boot that traveled a school-record
77 yards
down to the Blazers’ 10-yard line. Millsaps would score
two plays later after Marcus Stokes recovered a
Belhaven fumble to open the game up
and eventually win by 20.
The
Majors will open SCAC play on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Harper Davis
Field, welcoming the Austin College 'Roos to Jackson. Millsaps
has won 12 of its last 13 league games and knocked of AC last
year 43-10.
