GRR: Player of the Week
Southeastern Louisiana has emerged as the dominant team out of the Deep South Conference, and part of that has been the emergence of some smart, athletic players.
Among those is Jean Paul "JP" St. Pierre, who is our Men's D2 College Player of the Week.
As Thomas More moves into sole possession of first place in the Big Rivers, we take a look at our Player of the Week.
The Saints have their high-flying backs, the guys who can run and kick and score tries from long range, but all of it is on the backs of a strong forward effort. And none is as strong as Hudson Montgomery.
Whenever you think you don't haven enough time to get something done, think about this guy.
This past weekend Middle Tennessee State defeated Southern Indiana and flyhalf Jalen Greatrex scored three tries and assisted on another in a 29-7 victory. Greatrex has moved from center to flyhalf for MTSU, and he has taken on the role.
When IUP lost their most celebrated player and their captain to injury a few weeks ago, the team was shaken up, and while they won that game, rebounding from the loss of RJ Beach had to be a key part of the rest of their season.
Enter Brian Arnold, who stepped in as the captain, and now our GRR Men's D2 Player of the Week.
Our Men's D2 college Player of the Week is Finlay Hutton.
Hutton played flyhalf and scrumhalf for University of Vermont. He's from Scotland, Edinburgh, in fact, but is actually an exchange student from the University of Glasgow. Apparently being in both cities is the linguistic equivalent of offsetting penalties in football—he doesn't have a really noticeable Scottish accent.
