WEATHERFORD – Mackenzie Sims (volleyball) and DeAndre Beasley (football) have been named the Bulldogs of the Week, presented by Wright Media — the official partner for SWOSU athletic livestreams and radio broadcasts.

Sims (Amarillo, Texas) helped direct the Bulldog offense during a three-match winning streak to close out the Gorilla Classic. The sophomore setter totaled 116 assists (11.6/set) across the three victories, highlighted by a season-high 49 in a four-set win over Truman State. She added 36 assists in SWOSU's sweep of previously unbeaten tournament host Pittsburg State before closing the weekend with a 31-assist, 10-dig double-double against William Jewell.

Beasley (Lee Summit, Mo.) made an immediate impact in his first game as a Bulldog, hauling in a game-high 12 receptions for 131 yards in SWOSU Football's season opener at Arkansas Tech. The senior wide receiver averaged 10.9 yards per catch and helped the Bulldogs rack up 447 yards of total offense in the narrow 26-20 road loss.
