Clarksville,
Tenn. - Sophomore kicker Stephen Stansell, of the Austin
Peay State University football team, tied a school-record with four field goals
in the Govs win at Tennessee State and has been named the Copies in a Flash
Athlete of the Week.
A 5-11, 183-pound sophomore from Athens,
Stansell was a perfect 4-for-4 on the day against Tennessee State in LP Field,
scoring 14 of APSU's 26 points. The four field goals tied the school record
originally set by Tom McMillan, Sept. 5, 1987, at Kansas State. Monday, he was named Ohio Valley Conference
Specialist of the Week and the College Football Performance Awards Placekicker
Co-Performer of the Week.
Stansell
converted a 50-yarder (the second longest of his career) just before halftime
to trim the TSU lead to 14-10 at the break.
He added a 30-yarder and 23-yarder in the third quarter and a 29-yarder
with 6:55 to play, keeping the Govs close and allowing them to come-from-behind
and win the game later in the quarter.
He also was strong with his kickoffs as TSU's average starting field
position after kickoff was the 30-yard line compared to the 43-yard line for
the Govs.
The
Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week is selected by the APSU Sports
Information staff each Tuesday during the academic year. Copies in a Flash, of
Clarksville, sponsors the award.
