Week 4 Trench Trophy Players of the Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Trench Trophy is awarded annually to Western New York's best lineman. Each week, the Trench Trophy committee presents a list of players that showcased excellent ability to control the line of scrimmage for the given games. Here are the Week 4 selections of the best OL/DL prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Omar Atkins (Lake Shore) | vs Maryvale | Atkins is a tough gritty OT. He is short but plays the position tough and did an excellent job of drive blocking against the Flyers. Omar also registered a sack at DT.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bryan Boswell (Cleveland Hill) | vs Eden/North Collins | Boswell helped the Eagles keep the game close guiding their rushing attack for 140 yards and a score while picking up 8 tackles (1 for loss) and a sack on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Antonio Gonzalez (McKinley) | vs West Seneca East | In a tough class B matchup, the senior Offensive Guard had a monster game creating holes for the Macks rushing attack that went for over 350 yards and a pair of scores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1513370' first='Nahsir' last='Tillmon'] (Bennett) | vs Health Sciences | In the game of the week between Section VI top 2 AA teams, Tillmon was critical in Bennett's win, owning the trenches. The Tigers ran for 150 yards and 3 TDs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominic Barkey (East Aurora/Holland) | vs Olean | East Aurora lost a close one here but Barkey left it all out on the field. At 6'3 230 lbs, he is a big body that controls the trenches on both sides of the ball at LT and DE/DT.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Austin DeGeorge (Clarence) | vs Williamsville North | DeGeorge is one of the leaders on the Offense Line. A two-way lineman that has been a critical part of the Red Devils game plan and why they are in the playoff hunt.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tristan McKerrow (Pioneer) | vs Lackawanna | Pioneer completely dominated the Steelers line of scrimmage to the tune of 290 yards on the ground and 4 TDs (by 4 different rushers). McKerrow himself racked up 2 sacks at Defensive End.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Joel Will (Tonawanda) | vs Akron | Will is a stout run defender at Defensive Tackle. The Timberwolves won't make much noise in terms of winning but Joel is a strong DL that can make plays when he is on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
