OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Scottsdale’s offensive fireworks were displayed in a 63-16 win over a tough New Mexico Military team on Saturday. Sophomore running back Za’Quan Summers turned in a great individual performance despite his play being confined to mainly the first half of the game. His six rushing attempts netted 108 yards and two touchdowns, while his three receptions went for 27 yards and another score. Summers, a 5’7”, 165 pounder from T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va., scored once every three times he touched the ball on offense.

Playing mainly in the first half, the 5’10”, 230-pound sophomore had numbers of (take a deep breath now): eight tackles (six solo), four tackles for loss for 12 yards, one sack for 10 yards, two fumble recoveries (one of which he returned 42 yards for a touchdown), an interception which he returned for eight yards, two pass break-ups and a quarterback hurry.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK – Sophomore place kicker/punter Brian Franklin had another dependable performance on Saturday as Mesa lost at Eastern Arizona by a score of 31-21. The 5’9”, 146-pound kicker from Dobson High School in Mesa, who was All-ACCAC last year as both place kicker and punter, averaged 42 yards per kick on four punts while going perfect on PAT’s after Mesa’s three scores.
