Cullman's Jayden Sullins.

Jayden Sullins didn’t want to lose to Hartselle in his senior season.

So, he didn’t.

The Cullman running back compiled 21 carries for 138 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of last Friday night’s 15-10 home victory over Hartselle.

Sullins also netted 19 yards on a crucial third-down snap during his team’s game-winning drive against the Tigers inside Oliver Woodard Stadium.

The Navy commit picked up two receptions as well and added a 24-yard kickoff return in the Black and Gold’s first triumph against Hartselle since the 2013 season.

Cullman’s exciting win also locked up the No. 3 spot in Class 6A, Region 7.

With all that said, Sullins is The Times’ Athlete of the Week.

Max Dueland’s 1-yard quarterback sneak with 6.5 left put the Bearcats in front for good.

Jaylen Hughey (13 carries for 56 yards) and Dustin Speake (14 tackles and a pass breakup) also had key contributions throughout the game.

Athlete of the Week, which is sponsored by Tony Serra Nissan, is open to all local athletes.

Nominations can be sent to jwinfrey@cullmantimes.com with the person’s name, school and statistics.
