Korando Heating and Cooling “Special Teams” Player of the Week: # 3 Alex Blechle
Coach Belton said, “Alex came in for quarterback Tray Peters when he hurt his ankle and threw a great pass to TaShawn Palacio for a 2-point conversion. He also did a great job on the punt team and the kick off team.”
“Blechle also scored a touchdown on a 2-yard run to end the second quarter. On offense he ran 8 times for 65 yards and a touchdown. On defense Blechle had 1 solo tackle and 3 tackle assists”.
“Nighthawk Coal “Practice Player” of the Week, two weeks in a row: # 35 Bently Valleroy
Coach Belton said, “Bently Valleroy, a sophomore, is a good scout team player for the second week in-a-row. Bently just works very hard! He gives us great looks on the offense and defensive side of the ball!”
Each of the two weekly award winners received a special T-shirt provided by the two sponsors. Korando Heating and Cooling and Night Hawk Coal have stepped up to be the 2025 sponsors of the “Special Teams” and “Practice Player” of the Week Awards for Chester Football.
