Sturges, Curcio Cop Centennial POW Honors
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Senior tailback Tom Sturges (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield) and freshman halfback/return specialist Charles Curcio (Hammonton, N.J./St. Joseph) of the Gettysburg College football team have earned Centennial Conference Player of the Week honors, conference officials announced Sunday.
Sturges and Curcio helped the Bullets post a 42-21 Homecoming victory over Centennial Conference foe Juniata College on Saturday, as Gettysburg improved to 5-2 and 4-1 in the Centennial Conference.
Sturges, who entered the game as the sixth-leading rusher in Division III, ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries as he went over 1,000 yards rushing for the third year in a row. He also passed Scott Dudak ’82 and moved into third on Gettysburg’s career rushing list, pushing his career total to 3,790 yards.
Curcio posted his second straight outstanding all-around performance, piling up 184 all-purpose yards one week after a 167-yard showing against Moravian. He returned seven punts for 126 yards against Juniata, including a 56-yard return for a touchdown early in the third quarter that gave the Bullets a 21-7 lead and kicked off a game-breaking 21-0 Gettysburg run. Curcio also rushed six times for 58 yards and a 25-yard touchdown run.
Gettysburg returns to Centennial Conference action on Saturday, when it hosts Dickinson College at 1 p.m. in the battle for the Little Brown Bucket.
Congratulations also go out to Kyle Luciano for making the Conference Honor Roll for his contributions against Juniata!
