BOONE, N.C. — After team 'PrimeTime' seemed to be running away with Appalachian State University football's Battle for the Belt for the first two weeks, Week 3 was where guys showed grit as team 'Wrecking Crew', which is co-captained by A.J. Howard and Josh Thomas, gained huge ground to finish the week with 3,211 points – just 183 points off Taylor Lamb and Shaedon Meadors' 'PrimeTime' lead.
The Battle for the Belt is Appalachian State football’s offseason intra-squad competition. Points are awarded for student-athletes’ achievements in the offseason strength and conditioning program, performance in the classroom, service to the community and all-around character.
