The 6'0 signal caller demolished the Golden Eagles defense both through the air and on the ground. Santel single handedly put up 523 total offensive yards and we still have nine games to go! The competition will certainly get tougher but if the Stars quarterback can continue putting up games somewhat close to this monster performance, Santel could be leading his team into postseason play.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e60a0284fd5"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Defensive POTW </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["962460"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cbu003eGame Stats: u003c/bu003eu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003e14 tcks, 6 TFL, 2 FF, 1 FR, 5 sacks u0026amp; 1 blocked FGu003c/spanu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eIf we didn't know about this Wilson Co. defender, we need to start doing so because he had a breakout show in Week One where Griffith was a one man wrecking crew in the Saints 35-6 victory over RePublic. Griffith was an absolute force on the line of scrimmage as he not only made constant plays in the backfield but also in space. The Saints junior D-lineman topped things off by blocking a field goal, so Griffith did just about everything on defense besides sell popcorn. If he continues this kind of play the rest of the year, Griffith will be in consideration for D2-Class A defensive player of the year.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e60a028504c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Positional POTW&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='1019867' first='Nick' last='Osmun'] </strong>- Stone Memorial:&nbsp; 19-32 passing for 344 yds &amp; 4 TD's (12 carr, 58 yds)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- Osmun had a stellar opening game for his Stone Memorial team, leading his team in passing and total yardage along with a key victory over 6A Cookeville.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB: ‘25 [player_tooltip player_id='466232' first='Jayden' last='Milton'] </strong>- West Carroll:&nbsp; 24 carr. for 294 yds &amp; 5 TD's&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>- A one man wrecking crew in the War Eagles win over Gibson Co., Milton does what he does best and that's produce!
