Drew Pritchard, Denair: Pritchard was given an expanded role after Dylan De Silva was ejected from Friday's game, and the senior responded with 134 rushing yards and three TDs in a stunning 35-28 victory over three-time reigning Southern League champion Orestimba. Pritchard, who started last season at quarterback before moving to fullback this fall, also had a key interception in the first quarter. To vote, click here.

Ramirez had three catches for 131 yards a touchdown. He also had 15 tackles and returned a fumbled kickoff 22 yards for a touchdown. To vote, click here.
