Special Teams Player of the Week:

– Jack McKinney – O’Hara – Sr. – K/P

– McKinney was rock solid for the Lions in a, 7-0, triumph over West Catholic last week. In a game with a defensive flavor, field position became ultra-important and McKinney did his part to make sure the Burrs didn’t get much life in the return game or positioning once getting the ball. Two of his six punts eclipsed 50 yards (38.7 Average), while his hang-time was sensational all evening. McKinney blasted both of his kickoffs well into the end zone for touchbacks.

Multi-Purpose Player of the Week:

-Stevie Davis – LaSalle – Sr. – RB/K

– The reliable Davis put forth a strong performance in two areas in the Explorers dismantling of Haverford School, 38-16. Offensively, he rushed 22 times for 142 yards and a score. As the team’s primary kicker, he successfully converted all five of his point-after attempts, while also belting a 26-yard field goal.

Spectacular in Defeat:

-Yasin Lowry – Arch. Wood – Jr. – RB/LB

-Lowry ran hard and displayed ruggedness on defense in the Vikings, 34-20, defeat at the hands of Germantown Academy. He turned 25 totes into 129 yards and two scores. Defensively, he registered four tackles with three being of the solo variety.
