BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. -- Concord's Jack Mangel (Offense), Charleston's Kei Beckham and West Liberty's Owen Rozanc (Special Teams) were recognized by the Mountain East Conference for their performance in week three of the spring football season.
Mangel, a junior from Athens, Ga., helped Concord to a win in its season opener by completing 24-of-36 for 310 yards and five touchdowns. Mangel became the first Concord quarterback to throw for over 300 yards in five years and the five TD passes matched a school record.
Beckham, a senior from Trotwood, Ohio, helped lead the defensive effort in a key win for Charleston against UNC Pembroke. He had five tackles (four solo) on the day, including one for a loss. He also picked off a pass in the end zone as the Braves were looking to rally in the fourth quarter and raced 100 yards for the touchdown to help seal the win for the Golden Eagles.
Rozanc, a junior from Sheffield Lake, Ohio, handled placekicking and punting duties in West Liberty's win over Alderson Broaddus. He connected on all five of his PAT attempts and drilled a 42-yard field goal for the Hilltoppers. He also averaged 40 yards on four punts and placed all four inside the 20-yard line.
