About Wingate Wingate (3-0, 1-0 SAC) remained unbeaten in South Atlantic Conference play with a 31-27 victory over Carson-Newman last Satur- day at home. The Bulldogs quarterback, James Whitaker, passed for 148 yards and two scores as Wingate scored 14 points off of turnovers and won despite Carson-Newman’s edge in total yards, 434-260. Two Wingate players - defensive lineman Auntrell Mack and return man B.J. Muckelvene - were named the AstroTurf SAC Defen- sive and Special Teams Players Of The Week in the win over Carson-Newman. Mack had 13 total tackles and forced a pair of fumbles while Muckelvene returned his second punt of the year for a touchdown: a 63-yarder in the first quarter. The Bulldogs are powered by their running game - Blake Hayes (91.0 ypg) and Lawrence Pittman (81.7 ypg) - and average over 200 yards per contest this season so far. Lenoir-Rhyne Football
