HAMILTON, Ont. – The following student-athletes have been named OUA Football Players of the Week for the period ending August 25, 2013.
Offence: Austin Kennedy, Windsor Lancers, Quarterback
Kennedy (Windsor, Ont.) led the Lancers to an impressive 78-11 victory over the Waterloo Warriors on Sunday, which set a new team record for most points scored in a single game. The fourth-year quarterback went 24-for-28 totaling 335 yards and 6 touchdowns in the air, and added 108 yards rushing and one touchdown on 13 carries.
Defence: Scott Martin, McMaster Marauders, Defensive Back
Martin, a fourth-year defensive back, had a game high 12 solo tackles in the Marauders 51-24 season-opening win over the Ottawa Gee-Gees on Sunday.
