BREVARD, N.C. - Senior placekicker Stamati Damalos earned his third USA South Special Teams Player of the Week nod of the season, while Ernest Smith II was selected as the Conference's Defensive Player of the Week after Brevard's 24-21 victory over Maryville last Saturday. 

Damalos, the senior placekicker from Tarpon Springs, Florida drilled a 42-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter which gave the Tornados a two-score lead and led to a 24-21 win at Maryville last week. Between that field goal and his three made extra points, Damalos' leg helped secure the Brevard win. 

Smith II, the Barnwell, South Carolina junior defensive lineman totaled four tackles, which included 2.5 sacks, in a 24-21 win at Maryville last week. Smith II had three solo tackles with one assisted tackle while his 2.5 sacks resulted in a loss of 17 total yards. 

The Tornados are currently preparing for their final home game of 2022, as Brevard hosts Belhaven on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Ives-Lemel Family Field.
