WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT:  Two sports... Two awards... Two Browns

Rocky Mount, NC - The opening weekend of the 2006 athletic season was good for some, but great for others... especially for those athletes with the last name "Brown."  Football's Bo Brown, for example, recorded nearly every defensive statistic imaginable in Saturday's opener against Newport News Apprentice.  Soccer's Michael Brown, on the other hand, got the job done offensively as the only Bishop to tally two goals in Wesleyan's 8-0 win over Hood on Sunday.  For their efforts, both Browns were named the first Players of the Week in their respective sports by the USA South.

A junior from Rocky Mount and a product of nearby Northern Nash High School, Bo Brown led the Wesleyan defensive effort on Saturday with 7.5 tackles, one interception, one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.  Though the Blue & Gold suffered a heartbreaking 21-20 last-second loss to the Builders, the talented linebacker made it clear that he will be a force to reckon with over the course of the 2006 season.

A senior from Marietta, Georgia, Michael Brown began his final season with a bang as the Bishops earned their second straight NCWC Fall Classic title over the weekend.  With 12 different players tallying points in Sunday's 8-0 victory, Brown stood out as the only Bishop to score more than one goal, marking the first time in his collegiate career he accomplished the feat.

Congratulations to both athletes on their stellar performances!
