I started this on another thread but decided to make it it's own.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Fred Mitchell Outstanding Place-Kicker Award was given out today and this year's winner is Ethan Ratke of James Madison University. I feel it was a great choice, as the young man's had an outstanding season to cap off a record breaking career. But I'm very proud of our own Kyle Sentkowski for being named a finalist for this award, hopefully he'll have a season next year to not only warrant a nomination again but also to help the Hornets kick down the door in the playoffs!BSCfan said:The November edition of the Fred Mitchell Award watch list just came out and we have a player on it. Everyone's heard of the Lou Groza Award but many may not know about the Fred Mitchell Outstanding Place-Kicker Award.
From their website:
"The annual Fred Mitchell Outstanding Place-Kicker Award (also known as the Fred Mitchell Award) is provided to the nation’s top collegiate place-kicker among more than 750 FCS, Division II, III, NAIA and NJCAA football teams.
The Award is named for Fred Mitchell, the record-setting place-kicker, Wittenberg University Athletic Hall of Famer, author, philanthropist and Chicago Tribune sports columnist.
The recipient of the Fred Mitchell Award will be chosen based on excellence on the football field and in the community.
The Award’s Watch List is released in August, top performers are recognized monthly during the college football season, and the winner (who is not required to be on the Watch List) is announced in mid-December.
The school of the award winner receives scholarship funds and the Fred Mitchell Award trophy is presented each February at the National Football Foundation Chicago Metro Chapter Awards Ceremony at Halas Hall."
