With that – there were some first-team defenders and plays that I felt stood out.

Jonathan Shrum Farmington DB
Shrum led the team with nine total tackles. He made a tackle stopping the Rangers’ offense short of a first down. He set up a touchdown by breaking through the center of the line to block a punt. Shrum got position on a receiver and out jumped that receiver for an interception.
