Milton Shelton earned male player of the week honors after recording 213 yards on 15 carries and a pair of touchdowns in UC’s 35-21 win over Campbellsville.  With the Patriots trailing 14-7 in the third quarter, Shelton broke through the defensive for a 73 yard touchdown run, the longest run of his career, to even the score at 14-14.  Late in the game, Shelton continued to run hard, posting a 34 yard touchdown run to give the Patriots the 35-21 victory. He became the first RB since 2014 (Hunter Lewis vs. Bluefield) to rush for 200+ yards in a game for UC. It is Shelton's second game this season that he has rushed for 100+ yards. He also has rushed for 6 TDs this season.
