Running back Jarrette Pope logged 22 carries for 410 yards and six touchdowns to lead Clarke Prep to a 72-41 victory over Morgan Academy. For his performance - which didn't take into account his five tackles on defense - Pope is this week's ASWA Offensive Player of the Week.

Meeks finished with 342 yards of total offense in a 49-48 loss to Hubbertville. He completed 18-of-32 passes for 268 yards and five TDs (65, 33, 22, 12 and 10 yards), rushed seven times for 74 yards and a touchdown, completed four 2-point conversion passes, and added a 2-point conversion run.

This week's ASWA Defense/Special Teams Player of the Week is Waterloo's Bradley Darby, who did a little bit of everything in a 34-0 victory over Vina. Darby recovered two fumbles and an onside kick and recorded 10 tackles and a sack as Waterloo earned its first victory over the season. On offense, has rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns. 

The two finalists for the Defense/Special Teams award are Corner's Hunter Doppler and Oneonta's Rashad Roberson.
