Athlete of the Week: Jordan Martin

Senior outside linebacker leads resurgent Cocalico defense.

Sr. OLB/RB Jordan Martin

Every week at Eagle football practice we can count one thing: coach Dave Gingrich telling us what a good game Jordan Martin played the previous Friday night. Well we are finally listening to the man in charge, J-Mart is our Athlete of the Week.

The senior had ten tackles against Conrad Weiser on Friday, as Cocalico held an offense that was averaging 40 points per game to just 16. The Eagles earned a berth in the District 3 AAA Championship Game for the first time since 1997.

Martin leads Cocalico with 30 tackles (17 solo) through three postseason wins. 13-seed Cocalico will face number three Bishop McDevitt at Hersheypark Stadium at 7pm Friday.

*Note: Cable-11 will broadcast the AAA Title game on a tape delay beginning at 9pm. The second half will air at 10:30 following News 11's Evening Report.

Sr. WR/DB Kevin Antol

Kevin Antol, Cocalico - 11/22/10

Apologies to the senior wideout and defensive back. In our Thanksgiving anticipation we failed to post last week's winner.

Antol earned Athlete of the Week honors for his all around performance in Cocalico's 28-7 District 3 quarterfinal victory over Susquehanna Township.

He scored on an 18-yard carry, picked off his first pass of the season and returned it for a 42-yard touchdown and also posted five tackles in the victory.
