Who says kickers don't get any respect? Not the National Junior College Athletic Association, apparently, as it named Kilgore College's kicker/punter Christopher Baldazo as the NJCAA Special Teams Player of the Week for Oct. 18-24.

Who says kickers don't get any respect?
Not the National Junior College Athletic Association, apparently, as it named Kilgore College's kicker/punter Christopher Baldazo as the NJCAA Special Teams Player of the Week for Oct. 18-24.
Last week, No. 3 KC defeated No. 4 Trinity Valley Community College, 37-17.
Baldazo was a perfect 4/4 for extra points and 3/3 for field goals.
To cap it off, he punted three times for 118 yards with a long of 40.
