Mercer women’s hoop schedule is set

            Six non-conference opponents of Mercer’s women for 2018-19 played in the postseason in 2017-18.

            The team released the schedule Monday night.

            Florida State, Georgia, and George Washington participated in the NCAA tournament, with Central Florida and Jacksonville in the WNIT and UNC Asheville in the WBI.

            The marque home game is a visit from Florida, which was Mercer head coach Susie Gardner’s last employer. Florida and UCF visit in a four-day span in November. Florida State visits Macon between Kennesaw State and Charlotte.

 

Macon TD Club honors trio

             Three different schools are represented by this week’s Macon Touchdown Club players of the week, with the school getting the most attention-getting win Friday picking up two honors.

           Jones County quarterback Hunter Costlow is the back of the week after completing 16 of 28 for 305 yards and four touchdowns in the 35-27 win over Northside.

            Howard’s Javarsia Meadows took over the main RB role for the Huskies and ran 13 times for 237 yards and three touchdowns in the 46-26 win over Central.

            Britton Jones of Jones County racked up 20 tackles, three for loss, in the Greyhounds’ win to earn lineman of the week.

            Rutland’s Oscar Musick had three kickoffs for touchback, five punts of 30 yards or more, and a 30-yard field goal in the loss to Houston County.

 

Honor Roll

          Mitchell Fineran wasted no time in impacting the Samford football team.

          The freshman from Peach County is the Southern Conference special teams player of the week.

          In his college debut, Fineran was perfect on six PAT tries and drilled a 32-yard field goal in the 66-9 win over Shorter.

          He had two touchbacks and averaged 60.1 yards on eight kickoffs. ...

          Middle Georgia State's Ronja Andersson is the Southern States Conference soccer defensive player of the week.

          The freshman keeper from Norway helped the Knights go 2-0-1 with 26 saves in a full 290 minutes in goal, with wins over Truett-McConnell and Point, and a tie with Thomas.
