Childs Selected to
Aztec Bowl All-Star Game
UW-Stevens Point senior Cody Childs has been
selected to the Aztec Bowl Division III all-star game and will participate
on the 48-member United States squad on Dec. 16 in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
UW-Stevens Point has had among the most players selected to the game in its
nine-year history as Childs is the seventh Pointers� player to receive the
invitation. The Division III all-stars will take on the Mexican national
team and will be coached by former college football coach Bill Manlove. The
game is sponsored by the American Football Coaches Association.
Childs, a Poynette native, was a first-team
all-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection for his fourth
career all-conference selection. He led the league in all-purpose yards at
134.5 yards per game and his 906 yards rushing was the third-highest
single-season total in school history. Childs ranks second in school history
with 38 career touchdowns and fourth with 193 career receptions. His 1,929
career rushing yards ranks fifth in Pointers� history.
Childs is the second offensive player in
UW-Stevens Point history to play in the game, joining quarterback Scott
Krause, who was selected in 2003. The other Pointer Aztec Bowl selections
were defensive lineman Clint Bakken in 2004, defensive back Dillon Maney in
2002, defensive end Paul Schmitt in 2001, defensive lineman Mark Fetzer in
1999 and linebacker Clint Kriewaldt in 1998. |
