Sipsey Valley's Garrett Lewis rolled right and connected with Braylan Smith for a 96-yard touchdown pass early in the first quarter of Friday's game against Curry.

Lewis was just getting started.

Lewis completed 10-of-16 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns, added 11 carries for 203 yards rushing and scored the game-winning, 2-yard touchdown run with 2:40 to play to push the Bears to a 54-47 victory over Curry. Sipsey Valley trailed 47-39 in the fourth quarter before Lewis rallied the Bears to victory.

Lewis' performance - accounting for more than 500 yards of total offense - made him this week's Alabama Sports Writers Association Offensive Player of the Week. Lewis beat out two other finalists for the award, Falkville running back Marcus Woodall and Phillips-Bear Creek quarterback Rodney Camp.

Woodall rushed for 236 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, scoring on runs of 90 and 96 yards, in a 34-14 win at Sumiton Christian.  Camp accumulated 482 yards of total offense (263 passing, 210 rushing) as Phillips beat Phil Campbell 58-44. He passed for three touchdowns and rushed for two more.

Piedmont's Marquez Gamble is the ASWA Defense/Special Teams Player of the Week. Gamble registered 10 tackles, two sacks and recovered a fumble that led to the game's only touchdown in top-ranked Piedmont's 7-0 victory over No. 2 Leeds on Thursday.

The defensive/special teams finalists are Rogers' kicker Jacob Duncan and Berry's Clancy Brown.

Rogers kicked a 30-yard field goal with three seconds to play to send the game to overtime and his extra point on Rogers' overtime possession proved to be the game winner as Rogers beat Lexington 28-27. It was Duncan's first field goal of the season.

Brown recorded 28 tackles in a 50-42 win over Lamar County and scored the game-winning touchdown on a 10-yard run in overtime.
