The end is near, but Mitch Pelroy isn’t slowing down.
The Coupeville High School grad ripped off 55 yards on three kickoff returns Saturday, helping spark Montana Western to a 43-24 thumping of Southern Oregon on the college gridiron.
Pelroy, who has two regular season games remaining in his senior season, has rung up 256 yards on 10 returns this season, pushing his career total to 992 yards bringing back kicks.
Toss in the 59 yards he ground out on punt returns early in his career, and he has 1,051 return yards at the college level.
Pelroy is a two-way warrior for the Bulldogs, having amassed 53 tackles, 14 assists, six broken-up passes, four tackles for a loss and two sacks in his time playing college ball.
Montana Western (5-4 overall, 4-4 in Frontier Conference play) hosts Carroll College Nov. 5 and will honor Pelroy and his fellow vets on Senior Night.
The regular season ends on the road Nov. 12 against Rocky Mountain College.
During his time in Coupeville, Pelroy starred on the gridiron and basketball court, while making it to state in five different events as a track and field athlete.
He competed in the 100, 200, 400, 300 hurdles and 4 x 400 relay at the big dance and held the CHS 200 record until Jacob Smith broke it last spring.
