Junior Cole Westberry earned USA South Special Teams Player of the Week honors after hitting field goals of 49 yards and 44 yards. Freshman defensive end Joseph Ledbetter led the Cougars with seven tackles, including two sacks, and a forced fumble. Ledbetter was named the USA South Defensive Player of the Week and Defensive Rookie of the Week on Monday.
LaGrange at a Glance: LaGrange fell 35-14 at N.C. Wesleyan College last week. Although the Panthers are only 1-3, they've played tough competition and have averaged 26.3 points per game. They produced strong offensive numbers, especially in the passing game early in the season.
