JOEY'S PIZZA MOUNTIES MALE ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Mount Allison’s Department of Athletics and Recreation is pleased to announce that the Joey's Pizza and Pasta Male Athlete of the Week for the week of October 12th to October 18th is Idahosa Yorke from our Mounties football team.

Yorke, a sophomore receiver from Bowmanville, ON, had a breakout performance in his team’s 38-21 win over Acadia in Wolfville onSaturday. With the win, Yorke and his Mounties teammates took over sole possession of 1st place in the AUS football standings at 4-2 with two weeks to play.

Yorke did all of his damage on special teams, returning 8 punts for a total of 184 yards. The highlight came in the third quarter when Yorke scampered 81 yards for a punt return touchdown to give the Mounties a 31-0 lead at the time. Yorke averaged a staggering 23 yards per punt return for the game.
