Miles quarterback Anthony Mix, Jr., and wide receiver/kick returner Jaecyn Myles earned weekly awards from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for their performances last week in a win over Fort Valley State.

Mix, a redshirt junior from Mobile, Ala., was named Offensive Player of the Week.  He accounted for 284 yards of total offense and two touchdowns, completing 14-of-26 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 122 yards and another score on 13 carries. Mix scored on a 6-yard run in the fourth quarter before directing the decisive possession after Fort Valley State tied the game. He connected with James Gatewood for a 12-yard touchdown pass with 2:20 remaining to secure the win.

Myles, a freshman from Daphne, ALa., was named Specil Teams Player of the Week after delivering a historic performance in the win over FVSU. He returned three kickoffs for 145 yards, including a 97-yard touchdown return in the first quarter that immediately answered a Fort Valley State score and gave the Golden Bears their first kickoff return for a touchdown Sept. 15, 2012 - a span of 14 years and 138 games.  Myles also added a 46-yard punt return, averaging 48.3 yards per kickoff return as the Golden Bears secured the conference victory.

Mix, Myles and the Golden Bears close out the regular season on Saturday when they travel to face Tuskegee. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
