Football: Penguins Sweep Gateway Weekly Honors
    St. Louis, Mo. -- The Youngstown State football team had the offensive, defensive and special teams player of the week in the Gateway Football Conference with tailback P.J. Mays earning the honor on offense, cornerback Sherod Holmes and placekicker Jake Stewart picking up accolades for their performances against Samford.
    Mays finished his YSU career with a 137-yard performance and scored two touchdowns -- one on a 14-yard run and one on a 51-yard screen pass -- to set the league record for career touchdowns with 45. Holmes set a school record with four takeaways against the Bulldogs. He had two interceptions and recovered two fumbles in the game. He also added two pass breakups to go along with six tackles. Stewart had the best day of his career kick three field goals -- 26, 36 and 42 yards -- and making four extra points for a total of 13 points in the game.
    YSU was the only Gateway team to play on Saturday, but all three players were picked by the Gateway for their outstanding performances.
