The Tigers fell short against DeMatha last Friday. The Stags’ huge line and strong run game did enough to beat Massillon. The game was not without a few bright spots, however. A few Tigers had great games; they are this week’s spotlight players.
Mylen Lenix was a force at running back for the Tigers. He only carried the ball 7 times, but he was able to gain 46 yards, averaging 6 1/2 yards a carry. Lenix’s runs were hard downhill runs that smashed through DeMatha’s excellent defensive line, and he pushed ahead for as many extra yards as possible. He also notched 4 tackles on defense. His efforts make him the offensive spotlight player of the week.
Logan Allman had a season-high 12 tackles in Friday night’s game. He also had a sack and a tackle-for-loss. In a game against an excellent rushing opponent, he held his own and was able to make stops. Logan Allman is the defensive spotlight player of the week.
Tyler Hackenbracht excelled on the defensive end and on special teams. He notched 12 tackles on the defensive side of the ball (tied with Allman for team best). On special teams, he returned a blocked field goal. He also punted five times, averaging 42 yards a punt. This included a 46 yard punt that went out of bounds at the 6-yard line. For his two-way performance, Tyler Hackenbracht lands in the spotlight this week.
