Offensive Player(s) of the Week: Jerome Couplin III and Kevin Clark, McNamara
There’s no way to pick between these two guys. Clark threw for a mind-boggling 436 yards and five touchdowns while Couplin III caught 11 of those passes for 199 yards and four touchdowns, including the snag on a jump-ball to win the game.
Defensive Player of the Week: Devin Douglas, McNamara
With O’Connell in position to run out the fourth quarter and pull out a win, Douglas stepped in front of a pass over the middle and intercepted it for a game-changing play. The Knights still had one last chance to win on their next drive but Douglas was instrumental in stopping three straight running plays.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Darrian Carmichael, Bishop McNamara
After the kickoff went over his head, Carmichael looked like his proverbial goose was cooked. But Carmichael caught the bouncing ball, reversed course and took a kickoff 95 yards to keep Bishop McNamara close with O’Connell in the first half.
Offensive Play of the Week: Jerome Couplin III, McNamara
Couplin’s leaping grab in the endzone sealed the win for McNamara. He was telling Clark to toss it up and McNamara several times just went up and got it.
Defensive Play of the Week: Jerome Couplin III, McNamara
Couplin III made a very nice play on the ball to intercept O’Connell’s final pass, putting the game away for the Mustangs.
Hit of the Week: Chris Townsend, McNamara
OK, so he didn’t have any of those huge hits on special teams, but Townsend was in the O’Connell backfield all day.
