Jason Jewell’s Friday Night Phenoms

Player of the Week

* Nick Hershey – QB Gilbert Christian

When is the last time you heard of someone passing for 600 yards? Hershey did that in their win over Pima/ He threw for 609 yards and 7 TDs.

Coach of the Week

* Brock Farrel – Highland

Farrel has the Hawks off to a good start at 2-0. Last week they shutout a traditionally good Skyline team, led by a strong defensive performance.
