This season we will be having a Player of the Week poll. We will list 5 players in the poll who had great weeks and let the fans decide who the winner is. We are excited that the Quality Inn in Monroe will be the sponsor of this new feature. Please read about the candidates below, then vote for the player most deserving on our poll listed on the top left side of the blog. Voting will end on Tuesday 8/29/17 at 1:00 pm
Jaylan Franklin, Carlson: The senior QB/Safety led the Marauders to a huge 31-28 come from behind victory over Woodhaven in a key Downriver League match up. Franklin completed 7 passes for 108 yards and a TD in Carlson’s run happy offense. He added another score on the ground and recorded 6 tackles from his safety position.
Ben Miller, Dundee: The senior FB/LB had a huge game for Dundee as the Vikings lost on the last play of the game to a improved Airport team. The bruising fullback rumbled for 233 yards and 2 TD’s and also recorded 7 tackles on defense.
Jacob Weilnau, Ida: The junior RB/LB rushed for 147 yards and 3 scores as the Bluestreaks defeated Jefferson 28-14 in the opener for both schools at Ida.
Cam Rogers, Riverview: The senior RB/LB ran for 193 yards and 2 TD’s on 19 carries as the Pirates defeated a good Romulus team in Riverview by a score of 46-30. Romulus had beaten Riverview in the opener last season 32-14.

We understand that numerous players and teams had great week 1 games and stats. Unfortunately we can’t nominate everyone. If you would like to help in the future, please email nominations with stats to fridaynightvictors@gmail.com We thank you for your help and cooperation on this.
Actually, there are plenty of Dundee folks reading. Miller had a whale of a game for sure. Speed kills. Airport has it.
must not be many Dundee fans on the blog. Those votes for Ben Miller are probably coming from Airport parents. Kid probably had over 10 tackles to go along with his stats.
Cameron Rodgers works very hard an is a great player!! He had a great week one hopefully there are more to come
Cameron Rogers appears to be the real deal. Great week 1, we'll see how the season goes.
Ben Miller for sure. That kid is a beast. EM
The comment at 415pm is ridiculous…this is high school not 5th grade…not everyone get a trophy…
Ben Miller
Cam rogers baby 💯
Ben Miller
We did do plenty of player profiles. Many of which were lineman. Can't please everyone. One thing we have learned doing this website.
This is just fun not objective get over ito
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. DEFINITELY NOT A FAIR WAY OF PICKING THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE. I'VE SEEN THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO BEFORE (ANN ARBOR NEWS HAD THE BEST 100 METER RUNNER CONTEST- THE KID THAT WON IT BY OVER 3000 VOTES WASN'T EVEN THE BEST SPRINTER IN HIS SCHOOL- HE WAS THE THIRD BEST SPRINTER). IT'S JUST A POPULARITY CONTEST AND TOTALLY ELIMINATES LINEMEN AND OTHER POSITIONS. IT ONLY PROMOTES THE KIDS THAT WE KNOW ARE GOOD AND PROBABLY HAVE OFFERS ALREADY (BECAUSE THAT'S WHO YOU PICKED)
THE BIGGER SCHOOLS WILL HAVE THE MOST VOTES–THE KIDS WHO'S FATHER HAS AWAY OF VOTING NUMEROUS TIMES AT HIS OFFICE WILL WIN.
YOU PICK A KID EVERY WEEK, PICK FIVE BUT DON'T LEAVE IT TO THE TOP VOTE GETTER.
I KNOW YOU ARE TRYING TO GET PEOPLE INVOLVED, BUT THIS IS NOT A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT.
Great feature
Collin Woolford, he also had an interception and forced a fumble and recovered it.
Collin Woolford put the team on his back to win that game

CAM ROGERS!
Cam Rogers!
I voted Ben and Im a Jets fan… he was walking on us most of the game. Good blocking? Ehh not really. Poor tackling let him fall forward EVERY freaking play but yardage is yardage.
Can Rogers!!!
