I don’t think we’ve ever had such a tough decision to make for the KOGT Player of the Week sponsored by Team Granger. We had as many as nine nominees who turned in outstanding performances last Friday.
We decided to go with two Players of the Week because of what each performance meant to their team.
The lead see-sawed between Orangefield and Coldspring Friday and the Bobcats needed every yard of the 244 put up by Mason Manning. He was the workhorse with 34 carries and two TD’s in the Bobcats 28-26 victory. He also goes over the 1000 yd. mark for the season. With the win OF stays a full game up in district instead of looking at a 4 way tie for first.
The WOS Mustangs were 17 down in the second half when Ja’Mikael Davis’ hands turned to glue, catching everything thrown near him and using his speed to add up the yardage. He would finish with 7 receptions for 190 yds. and two scores to help lead the Mustangs to 39-36 district win over Jasper.
