OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The Louisiana Christian University football team picked up its first two weekly honors of the season with Datlan Cunningham being named the Sooner Athletic Conference's Offensive Player of the Week while Levi Hilborn earned its Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday.
 
Cunningham, a redshirt sophomore from Alexandria, rushed for 157 yards and two scores on 30 carries, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, as the Wildcats pulled out a 43-37 win over Wayland Baptist on Saturday at Wildcat Field. His longest run of the day went 34 yards for a touchdown which put the Wildcats up 14-0 in the first quarter. He also had a one-yard score in the third quarter which made the score 27-17 LCU.
 
Hilborn followed up a big game against Langston a week ago by making his only field goal attempt against the Pioneers, a 22-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter which gave LCU a 30-17 lead. He also made four extra points, accounting for seven total points in the six-point win.
 
Cunningham, Hilborn, and the rest of the Wildcats (2-1, 2-0 SAC) step out of league play this Saturday, taking on a former conference foe from LCU's days in NCAA Division III and the American Southwest Conference in Hardin-Simmons. Kickoff of Saturday's contest against the Cowboys (2-0) is set for 1 p.m. at Shelton Stadium in Abilene, Texas and will be live streamed with live stats also available.
