Gateway Tire & Service Center Player of the Week

Tri-County Academy tailback Ryan Cothern is the Gateway Tire & Service Center Player of the Week. The 5' 9" 175 lb. sophomore rushed for 242 yards on 16 carries, had 34 receiving yards, 64 return yards and 6 touchdowns in producing 340 all-purpose yards in the Class A top ranked Rebel's 40-0 shutout win over Prairie View. Cothern rushed for 236 yards on 12 carries and 2 touchdowns in a 42-0 win over West Memphis last week and ranks third in the MAIS with 851 rushing yards.

"Ryan is a great kid and a very unselfish player," said Tri-County head coach David Blount. "He understands that he has a very good line opening holes for him. Ryan gets better each week and we are expecting great things from him the rest of the season."

Cothern and Tri-County will travel to Lexington to take on fifth ranked Central Holmes (4-1) on Friday night with hopes of extending their 18 game winning streak.
