Because I am a terrible blogger…

Here’s a brief about four local players who made the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s player of the week lists. But a day late.

Better late than never, right?

Loachapoka junior Tracy Brooks matched his season interception total in about a minute of game time in the fourth quarter of No. 5 Indians’ 18-12 win over No. 4 Maplesville last Friday night, helping advance Loachapoka to its fourth quarterfinal appearance in the past six seasons.

Ryan Romans of Russellville won the defense/special teams honor, blocking a 32-yard field-goal attempt and later returning an interception 90 yards for a touchdown in the first half of a 14-0 win over Muscle Shoals in the 5A playoffs.
