Milton Shelton earned male athlete of the week honors after recording a career-high 215 yards and two touchdowns in UC’s 49-13 win over Pikeville.  Shelton got 20 carries and averaged 10.8 yards per carry.  In the third Shelton capped off a Patriot drive with a three-yard touchdown run and on UC’s next score he found Austin Ysidro on a jump pass for a touchdown.  The 215 yards gives Shelton 1,263 rushing yards on the year as he passed D'Angelo Jordan for 6th most in a single season and tied Randy Freeman (1997) for 5th most most rushing TDs in a season with 16.
