Bluffton University running back Eric Fox (Brunswick) earned the HCAC Play of the Week for week 5. The senior claimed the title after voting took place on the HCAC social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter.
Fox's winning play was a six-yard touchdown reception on fourth and goal late in the first quarter of Bluffton's 20-14 win over Hanover. He hauled in the shoestring catch just inside the 10-yard line and avoided two defenders with his leap to paydirt.
Bluffton University presented alumni awards on Oct. 4 to two distinguished graduates who said Bluffton has given them much more as well.
