South Georgia Wildcats News Release
April 2, 2008, Albany, GA - Tuesday afternoon the af2 league office named Wildcats Quarterback Cecil Lester the Schutt Offensive Player of the Week for his performance at Tennessee Valley this past Saturday.
Lester, making his first af2 start since the 2004 season, completed 27-of-45 passes for 375 yards. The Fort Valley St. alum also tossed 7 touchdown passes against only one interception.
Lester saved his best effort for the final play of the game. The Wildcats trailed Tennessee Valley 55-52 with five seconds remaining when Cecil found Alvin Ray Jackson streaking across the middle of the field uncovered. Jackson proceeded upfield but was held up by a host of defenders. Before going down he spotted Lester, who started sprinting down the field after throwing the pass. Jackson then pitched the ball back to Lester who ran 19 yards down the left sideline and into the endzone for the game-winning touchdown.
The Wildcats open up the home portion of their schedule Saturday, April 5th against the Louisville Fire at the Albany Civic Center on Cooper Tire Field. For ticket information, call the Wildcats at (229) 435-0205.
