2012 Week 2

     Sardis senior excels in shootout victory over Locust Fork

By JOSH BEAN
For The ASWA

 

Sardis set a new single-game school scoring record in Friday's 68-48 victory over Locust Fork, thanks to senior running back Toby Pee.  

Pee accounted for 415 yards of total offense - 288 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries and 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns on four receptions. The six touchdowns is a career best.  

For his performance, Pee is this week's Alabama Sports Writers Association Offensive Player of the Week. Pee beat out two other finalists for the award - Linden running back Marquis Shelton and Sheffield's Matthew Boutwell. 

Shelton carried just three times, scoring on runs of 17, 53 and 55 yards, in a 58-0 victory over J.U. Blacksher. He finished with 125 yards. 

Boutwell scored on the final play of regulation to force overtime and added the game-winner in the second overtime - his third TD run of the night - in a 35-28 victory over Lexington.  

Defensively, Abbeville's Sean Anderson is the ASWA Defense/Special Teams Player of the Week for a sterling performance in a 44-42 victory over Geneva. Anderson finished with 28 tackles - 20 tackles and eight assists - and made a stop on the final play of the game to stop a 2-point conversion and preserve the victory. 

The Defense/Special Teams finalists are Ider's Matthew Collins and Marengo Academy's Kyle Adams. 

Collins tied an AHSAA record by returning two kickoffs for touchdowns in a 37-14 victory over West End. Collins opened the game with a 70-yard kickoff return for a TD and also closed the scoring with a 75-yard return in the fourth quarter. He also scored on a 1-yard run in the first half.  

Adams recorded nine tackles and two sacks, while adding an interception and two fumble recoveries in a 37-8 victory over Jackson Academy.
