MICHAEL GALATAS OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE, a 5-10, 175-pound junior kick returner/wide receiver from Lacombe, La., has been selected the SCAC Football Special Teams Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, October 31.

Galatas averaged 51 yards on a pair of kick returns against Sewanee, including a 75-yard return in the second quarter for a touchdown that broke a pair of Millsaps records.
