Defensive Player of the Week:
Evan Lojewski – Lansdale Catholic – DE – Senior
For the first time since the 2019 season (Spanning 23 games) the Crusaders notched a shutout with an impressive, 10-0, win on the road against Conwell-Egan. Though it was certainly a team effort, Lojewski played a major part from his defensive end position. He scored the game’s only touchdown on a 48-yard scoop and score fumble return. This was his second fumble recovery of the game. He also added 7 tackles (5 solos) with five going-for losses that accumulated 19 yards. The Crusaders’ defense held the usually reliable Eagles’ ground attack to just 26 yards on 33 carries and a total of just 61 yards of offense.
Special Teams Player of the Week:
Yasir Williams – Neumann-Goretti – KR – Senior
Williams got the Saints headed in the right direction this past Saturday when he fielded the opening kickoff and zipped 63 yards for a touchdown. From here the Saints methodically eased past West Catholic in a 37-7 victory.
