"Ryan has had a great year but he really stepped it up a notch this week," said Tri-County head coach David Blount. "He ran harder this week and made better decisions than he's made all year. Great player, student and outstanding young man. Ryan will be the first to tell you that the offensive line blocked great this week."

Glenbrook quarterback Regan Edwards is the Gateway Tire & Service Center Co-Player of the Week.

The 6'1", 170 lb. senior went 15/19 for 523 yards and 7 touchdowns in the Apache's 60-14 win over Claiborne Academy on Friday night.

Hopefully our play will continue and carry us to the playoffs."
