ACU's Scott Named LSC Male Athlete of the Year

I would like to take this time to congratulate a student-athlete for his achievements on the field. Abilene Christian University RB Bernard Scott won the 2008 Harlon Hill Award following the Wildcats LSC championship and quarterfinal appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs. The Harlon Hill Award is the Div ll Equivalent of the Heisman. Scott was also named the Lone Star Conference Male Athlete of the Year.

Scott, a 5'11 200 lb RB from Vernon, TX, had one of the mos prolific careers in LSC and ACU Wildcat history. He led the Wildcats to their first ever perfect regular season at 10-0. Also, Scott led the Wildcats to their first ever outright LSC championship since 1973. They reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Div. ll Playoffs and had the highest Div. ll ranking in school history at #2.

If I'm not mistaken, Bernard Scott signed a Free Agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals and will be in their training camp come July. Congratulations to Bernard Scott for winning the Harlon Hill Award and being named the Lone Star Conference Male Athlete of the Year. Hopefully, he'll get a chance to play in the NFL or somewhere else in professional football. For more information on this story and others, go to www.acusports.com.
