Belhaven University Athletics

One of this week's Blazer Athletes of the Week is Rashad Wynes of the football team. Wynes, a sophomore from Macon, GA, electrified the crowd with his 95 yard punt return for a touchdown giving the Blazers a 10-0 lead with 11:34 to go in the third quarter. Wynes just missed the NAIA national record for the longest punt return by two yards. Ron Fuller of Evangel holds the record of 97 yards which he set against Missouri Southern in 1981. Wynes return was the longest in Belhaven's history and was a pivotal play in game. Wynes returned three punts on Saturday and averaged 34.7 yards per return. He is averaging 20.1 yards per punt return this season. Wynes was also named the Mid-South Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.
