Offensive Player of the Week: Caleb Porzel, Good Counsel
Porzel had three touchdowns in the first quarter against DeMatha and 124 total rushing yards despite sitting out much of the second half because of cramps. Considering the stage he was on and the defense he was facing, Porzel had a breakout week.
Runner-up: Jerome Couplin III, Bishop McNamara
Couplin III had the game-winning 5-yard reception as time expired against Paul VI Friday night, giving the Mustangs a 20-18 win over the Panthers. Couplin III also made a huge 10-yard reception with 2.8 seconds remaining on the final drive.
Defensive Player of the Week: Jelani Jenkins, Good Counsel
Jenkins seemed to be in on nearly every tackle for Good Counsel as the Falcons stuffed DeMatha’s running game. He also recovered a fumble and returned it 19 yards for Good Counsel’s third touchdown.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Matt Elsasser, St. John’s
Our first two-time winner in WCAC MMQ history, Matt Elsasser takes home the award for a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the first half and a 21-yarder to tie the game as time expired at the end of regulation. His punts were also spectacular.
Offensive Play of the Week: Charles Brown, St. John’s
Brown ran 13 yards for the game-winning touchdown against O’Connell in a 13-6 Cadets victory.
Defensive Play of the Week: Michael Katz, O’Connell
Katz caused and recovered a St. John’s fumble on the goal line to nearly pull off a victory over St. John’s.
Hit of the Week: Tim Anderson, Good Counsel
Anderson blind-sided DeMatha quarterback Tommy Chroniger, causing a fumble that Jelani Jenkins returned for a touchdown.
Quote of the Week: Coach Bob Milloy, Good Counsel
“They’ll be talking about his game probably long after I’m gone. I’m just glad I was a small part of it.”
Game You Should Have Been At: Good Counsel 42, DeMatha 21
This is really tough because there were three really good WCAC games this weekend. But as anyone who was at the Good Counsel/DeMatha game will tell you, this one was really special. If the jaw-dropping plays but some of the nation’s best recruits weren’t enough, the mere atmosphere made this game unforgettable.
Bishop Ireton 21, St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes 0
The Cardinals snap their skid with a win over an inner-state foe.
Bishop McNamara 20, Paul VI 18
The Mustangs come from behind to beat Paul VI as time expires in a game they needed to win. 95 yards in under a minute will be memory that will last quite some time.
Gonzaga 38, Archbishop Carroll 16
After falling into a 9-0 hole, the Purple Eagles come storming back behind 31 unanswered points to win their first game of the season.
Liberty Christian Academy 65, St. Mary’s Ryken 6
The Knights are still taking their lumps in their first varsity season.
St. John’s 13, O’Connell 6
This could end up going down as a regular season matchup of two playoff teams. O’Connell’s game against McNamara will likely determine that after St. John’s got come-from-behind wins against both teams.
