The Eagles continue their playoff run this Friday in a matchup with North Royalton (7-4).

 

Justin Bremner, Walsh Jesuit

A star on the baseball diamond, Justin Bremner went all-out in the Warriors 56-20 victory over Maple Heights. The senior RB carried the ball 30 times for 236 yards and a whopping five touchdowns. The #6 seed in Region 5, Walsh Jesuit will hit the road this week to take on undefeated Hudson (11-0).

 

Rocco Conti, Olmsted Falls

Another previous Player of the Week nominee, Conti did it all in the Bulldogs 56-35 win over Toledo St. John’s Jesuit.
