Bluffton University wide receiver Shawn Frost (Edison, Ohio/Mt. Gilead) was voted as the HCAC Play of the Week for week 3.
The senior earned the title after voting took place on the HCAC social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter.
Frost's winning play was a one-handed touchdown grab from junior quarterback Nick Sheehan (Monroeville, Ind./Heritage) late in the fourth quarter against Earlham helping the Beavers cap a 36-21 win in the conference opener.
The final voting tally saw Frost garnering 93 percent of the vote.
The Bluffton University volleyball was looking to avenge its recent loss to local rival Ohio Northern when the Beavers invaded the King Horn Center on Wednesday, Sept. 25, but ONU had none of it as the home team made quick work of the Beavers, wrapping up its second three-set victory over Bluffton in five days. Ohio Northern improved to 10-6 following the win, while Bluffton slipped to 7-10 with a fourth setback in its last five matches.
Stephanie Jankov won’t soon forget the faces she saw in Peru the week of Sept. 9.
They were the faces of many of the 1,802 children—from toddlers to teenagers, in daycare and schools—who received new shoes from a group, including Jankov, on a “giving trip” for TOMS Shoes. For every purchased pair of its shoes, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based company gives one free pair to a needy child in nearly 60 countries worldwide.
