A full-time quarterback had nearly as efficient of a day and threw for the exact number of yards. Pioneer quarterback Brandon Bertoia completed 7-of-10 passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns in Pioneer’s 39-13 win over Dearborn Edsel Ford. The 70 percent completion rate was the highest among quarterbacks in the county with five or more attempts

Father Gabriel Richard running back D.J. Newlin was also a model of efficiency on the ground running seven times for 114 yards for a 16.3 yards per carry average, the highest of any Washtenaw County back with five or more carries. Saline’s Griffin Wooley's yards per carry average wasn’t quite as high (7.6), but that was partly because on three of his 14 carries Wooley ran out of field, with three touchdowns.

Offensive Player of the Week

Askaree Crawford, Skyline: The junior quarterback threw for a Washtenaw County-high 187 yards and two touchdowns in Skyline's 28-3 win over Dexter. Crawford also rushed for 52 yards.

Defensive Player of the Week

Dominic DiMelis, Saline: The senior defensive lineman led Saline with 10 tackles and a fumble recovery in the Hornets' 37-29 win over Ypsilanti.

Special Teams Players of the Week

Austin Hoover and Gage Smith, Milan: The seniors teamed up to do Milan's kicking duties, converting 6-of-7 point after attempts. The only miss was from Hoover, who had just run for a 59-yard touchdown. Smith one-upped him by making the point-after attempt following his own 37-yard touchdown reception.

By the numbers

3: Washtenaw County teams in the Associated Press state rankings.

5: Backs to score rushing touchdowns for Manchester in the first half of the Flying Dutchmen’s 41-6 win over Napoleon.

6: Receivers who caught passes for Chelsea in its 17-14 loss to Belleville. The leader in yards (Kenny McDowell) was also the only receiver not to catch more than one pass.

13: Combined points allowed in first two games by Skyline football team, a Washtenaw County-low. Prior to 2013, Skyline had never given up less than 12 points in one game.

13: Combined points scored by Dexter in its first two games, a Washtenaw County-low.

22: Fourth quarter points scored by Ypsilanti against Saline on Friday. It was the most points scored in the fourth quarter of any game.

39: Increased amount of points scored by Pioneer in Week 2, the largest Week 1 to Week 2 swing in Washtenaw County.

Potent Quotable:

“The defense was trying to get stops, because last week we didn’t get the stops.”
