Steinert senior quarterback Quinyon Simmons racked up 192 rushing yards, 140 passing yards, and five touchdowns to share offensive back honors for Week 8 of the high school football season, the Trentonian reported.
The weekly accolades released for the eighth week of action highlight top performances across local high school football. Simmons led the charge in Steinert’s victory over Lawrence, putting up a dominant stat line through the air and on the ground.
Sharing the Co-Offensive Back of the Week nod is Trenton Central senior wide receiver Brandon Howard. Howard hauled in 11 receptions for 170 yards and a touchdown as Trenton defeated Ewing 36-19.
Up front, Hun School senior tight end Tommy Douglas earned Offensive Lineman of the Week recognition. Douglas anchored a blocking unit that generated over 500 yards of total offense while also catching two passes in Hun’s 24-14 win over Cornerstone out of Texas.
On the defensive side of the ball, Hopewell Valley sophomore defensive lineman Landon Rassam captured Defensive Lineman of the Week. Rassam registered two sacks, one tackle for loss, two solo tackles, and two assists during Hopewell Valley’s 27-0 shutout win against Princeton.
The Co-Defensive Back of the Week honors were split between two standout performers. Notre Dame freshman linebacker Johnathan Maro tallied 11 assists, one solo tackle, and six tackles for loss in a 45-6 victory over Hamilton West. Pennington School junior cornerback Jamir Conover rounded out the weekly list with a lock-down defensive performance, recording four tackles and an interception in a 30-14 win against Peddie.
