BOWLING GREEN, Ky./KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kenneth Lowery helped the Eagles shut down the Royals of Warner (Fla.) on the gridiron last Saturday, 45-0, in Reinhardt's home opener on Ken White Field at University Stadium.

The linebacker, who posted a total of six tackles in the victory, has been tabbed the Mid-South Conference Appalachian Defensive Player of the Week on Monday – and in the process – helped the hometown squad move up one spot to No. 7 in the NAIA Football FirstDown PlayBook Top 25 Poll.
