KINGSVILLE, Texas -- Ashton Gronewold, who scored more touchdowns than any player in the history of the Miner football program, got one of the two touchdowns scored by the West team Friday night in the Valero Cactus Bowl held at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
Gronewold caught a 10-yard scoring pass from Midwestern State's Daniel Polk early in the third quarter to cap a 91-yard scoring drive. The touchdown brought the West back to within 15 at 28-13 in the contest that the East team would win by a count of 42-13.
The All-America wide receiver from Carthage, Ill., who earned his post-season honors for his play as an all-purpose back, led the West squad with his 86 all-purpose yards in the contest. He caught two passes for 17 yards and also returned three kickoffs for 69 yards, including a 41-yard runback in the third quarter in the all-star game featuring players from NCAA Division II institutions.
