Gateway Tire & Service Center Player of the Week

Brookhaven quarterback Gage Posey is the Gateway Tire & Service Center Player of the Week. The 6' 3" 190 lb. senior directed an 88 yard drive to beat second ranked Lamar 33-28 on Friday night in the second round of the Class AA playoffs. Posey passed for 314 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 3 touchdowns as the senior southpaw helped Brookhaven improve to 9-4 and advance to take on defending state champion Simpson this Friday night in Mendenhall.

"We wouldn't trade Gage for any quarterback in the state," said Brookhaven head coach Tripp McCarty. "He does a tremendous job of taking what the defense gives. He is a good athlete and has all the tools you look for in a quarterback."

Posey has passed for 2,732 yards this season to go along with 22 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions. The senior has completed 61% of his passes and has a 109 quarterback rating. Add in his rushing touchdowns total of 14 and Posey leads the MAIS with 36 touchdowns.
