Crestview
Player fact: The senior quarterback ran for 213 yards and two touchdowns and passed for 71 yards and two more scores in a Week 2 win over West Branch. On the season, Gilbert has 388 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, to go with his 157 yards and four touchdowns through the air. This week he’ll look to add to his total against Liberty.
Quotable: “I like McDade this year, he’s a big target at tight end. It’s nice because it creates a lot of mismatches. A lot of times you’ll have the free safeties walk up and cover him and you don’t have too many 6-foot 3 250 pound DBs out there so it’s nice.”
Anthony Scandy
Springfield
Player fact: The defensive back was a part of a Springfield defense that held Youngstown Christian to just 143 total yards on five first downs. In the 53-12 victory, Scandy was credited with seven tackles, three for losses, and two sacks. His coach said he expects that from him every week now that he knows he’s capable of it.
Quotable: “Just to be vicious on defense; hitting people, wrapping up, bringing people to the ground. All the seniors have bee through it before, most juniors played last year, so we have a lot of experience back. We all know what Springfield football is about, it’s just making sure we get things done.”
