Seniors J.B. Clark and Andy Mundwiller have been selected as part of this week’s MIAA Football Student-Athletes of the Week by the conference office and a panel of Sports Information Directors.
Clark was the offensive player of the week while Mundwiller was the co-special teams’ player in the Bulldogs 36-31 win over Fort Hays State on Saturday.
Clark (Jupiter, Fla., Jupiter HS) touchdown passes of 18, 4 and 27 yards with 298 yards passing against the Tigers.
His one-yard touchdown plunge on a QB sneak with 9:28 remaining in the game, proved to be the winning score.
He went 28-of-48, the most completions, attempts and yards for a Bulldog signal caller since Matt Ticich threw for 405 in 2008 (32 games).
Clark was 7-of-13 passing in third down situations and used 10 different receivers on the day. He also added four rushes for 16 yards and was not sacked.
Mundwiller (Washington, Mo.) led Truman with 152 all-purpose yards with career highs in catches (5), receiving yards (58), single-game punt returns (5), punt yardage (94) and longest punt return (58 yards) on Saturday.
His 58-yard punt return, which was the longest by a Bulldog since 2007 (Albert Coker – 60 yards), set up the Bulldogs at the Tigers 19 yardline and eventually led to a 20-yard field goal by Derek Koon to put Truman up 23-21.
Mundwiller’s return yardage on Saturday of 94 yards was five yards shy of the entire team’s punt return yardage from 2010. He added a special team tackle on a fake punt by the Tigers.
It is the first player of the week awards for either individual.
