<p>[player_tooltip player_id='806821' first='Talon' last='Engasser'] (Clarence) - 6'2 305 lbs. - Engasser was a preseason favorite to be a Trench Trophy finalist and he has not disappointed. Talon has all the intangibles needed to be a premiere OT at the next level.</p>

<p>Ryan Garrigan (Williamsville East) - 5'10 200 lbs. - The Williamsville East Flames are having a spectacular season, starting with a 5-1 record. Garrigan has been a big part of their success. A small, quick DE; Ryan racked up 6 tackles in their close 17-14 divisional win over Grand Island.</p>

<p>Avion Johnson (Medina) - 5'10 220 lbs. - Medina bounced back into the win column this week with a ground game that posted over 450 yards and 5 scores. The Mustangs had 3 different players run for over 100 yards,</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1719759' first='Christian' last='Papaj'] (Kenmore West) - 6'3 290 lbs. - Kenmore West fell short in this contest but Papaj was a force on both sides of the ball. He is a big body presence that can move the opposition around. Defensively, he registered 6 tackles (1 TFL) and a sack.</p>

<p>Joe Sacco (South Park) - 6'2 325 lbs. - Sacco made a big name for himself last week as he was one of the few OL/DL to be recognized as Player of in Week 5 for his versatility. South Park often uses Sacco in a role similar to "Refrigerator" Perry so it is no surprise he would be recognized for his Lineman work in Week 6. He had 18 yards and a TD this past week, as well as an excellent defensive performance racking up 7 tackles (1 TFL).</p>

<p>Calvin Salisbury (Southwestern-Frewsburg) - 6'1 285 lbs. - The Trojans are considered to be the best Small School in WNY; having allowed just 3 TDs in 6 games. They have also been a force offensively; averaging over 40 points per game. In week 6, Southwestern-Frewsburg's rushing attack, led by Salisbury on the OL, gained over 250 yards on the ground and 3 TDs.</p>
