     Players Of the Week

By JOSH BEAN
For The ASWA

 

Edgewood quarterback Dylan Ingram probably won't need to look at the yearbook to remember his performance against East Memorial.  

Not if he can find a record book. 

Ingram completed 20-of-25 passes for a school-record 541 yards and seven touchdowns in a 63-28 win victory East Memorial. The seven touchdown passes tied an AISA single-game record and raised his season total to 39, tying the AISA single-season mark.  

Ingram's record-setting performance earned him this week's Alabama Sports Writers Association Offensive Player of the Week award. He beat out two finalists for the award – Spain Park quarterback Nick Mullens and Parrish's Jermichael Harris. 

Mullens completed 40-of-46 passes - setting a new single-game AHSAA Class 6A record for completions - for 322 yards and three TDS in the 34-13 win over Oak Mountain. He had a string of nine consecutive completions and another streak of 12 straight completions. 

Harris accounted for 351 yards of offense and seven TDs in the Tornadoes' 62-36 homecoming win over Brilliant. He rushed 21 times for 277 yards and TD runs of 58, 59, 98, 28 and 5 yards, while also throwing TD passes of 30 and 12 yards. He finished 4-of-6 for 74 yards passing. 

This week's Defense/Special Teams Player of the Week is Tuscaloosa County's Lucas Webb. He intercepted two passes and returned both for touchdowns - returns of 70 and 27 yards - in a 35-13 win over Minor.  

The Defense/Special Teams finalists are Fort Payne's Stephon Moore and UMS-Wright's Troy Dixon. Moore picked off two passes and returned both for touchdowns of 70 and 65 yards, to go with two tackles, one pass break-up and a fumble recovery.
