Running back Datlan Cunningham, kicker Levi Hilborn, and the Louisiana Christian Wildcats (2-1, 2-0 SAC) step out of league play this Saturday, taking on Hardin-Simmons, a former conference foe from LCU’s days in NCAA Division III and the American Southwest Conference.

Kickoff of Saturday’s contest between the Wildcats (2-1) and the Cowboys (2-0) is set for 1 p.m. at Shelton Stadium in Abilene, Texas and will be live streamed with live stats also available through the LCWildcats.net website.

Cunningham was named the Sooner Athletic Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week Monday while Hilborn earned its Special Teams Player of the Week award.

Cunningham, a redshirt sophomore from Alexandria Senior High, rushed for 157 yards and two scores on 30 carries, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, as the Wildcats pulled out a 43-37 win over Wayland Baptist last Saturday at Wildcat Field. His longest run of the day went 34 yards for a touchdown which put the Wildcats up 14-0 in the first quarter. He also had a one-yard score in the third quarter which made the score 27-17 LCU.

Hilborn followed up a big game against Langston a week ago by making his only field goal attempt against the Pioneers, a 22-yard attempt early in the fourth quarter which gave LCU a 30-17 lead. The junior from LaPorte, Texas,  also made four extra points, accounting for seven total points in the six-point win.
