Offensive Player of the Week:
-Semaj Beals (Roman – Jr. – QB): It was another record-setting afternoon for Beals, as he tossed three scoring passes giving him 36 total for the season, which is a new PCL record. His 18-for-27, 257-yard outing pushed him to 3,048 passing yards on the season. Only the second city quarterback to eclipse this barrier. He is now just 4 yards from the season city record. To boot, he broke the city career records for completions (540) and attempts (945).
Offensive Honor Roll:
-Rayshawn Scott (Roman – Sr. – WR): Scott made 7 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown in Roman’s dismantling of Father Judge in the PCL 5A final. The yards output gave him Roman’s single-season receiving yards record. He became just the 12th city player to accumulate over a 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Scott now has 1,023 on the year. The City/PCL record for a season is 1,208 yards.
-John Welde (O’Hara – Jr. – QB): Welde was an efficient, 9-for-11 with 217 yards and one score in the Lions win over Ryan.
-Amahj Gowans (O’Hara – Je. – RB): Gowans turned just 9 carries into 58 yards and three touchdowns for the Lions in their win over Ryan.
Monty Zoryea (Con.-Egan – Sr. – RB): Zoryea put forth a workmanlike performance with 25 totes and 142 yards with one touchdown in the Eagles 21-0 victory over the Saints.

-John Brown (O’Hara – Sr. – LB): The rugged and active Brown swarmed to 13 tackles in O’Hara’s comfortable win over Archbishop Ryan. Ten of his stops were of the solo variety.
Defensive Honor Roll:
-Chase Walters (Con.-Egan – Jr. – DT): Walters spearheaded an Eagles defense that held Neumann-Goretti scoreless and to negative-41 yards rushing. He accumulated 2.5 sacks amongst his five stops in the game. Those losses netted 27 yards.
