JEFFERSON COUNTY — In a week of many blowouts, starters having an early night, and everyone looking forward to the playoffs, it was hard to focus on a single player’s contributions Friday night. However, two names stood out. Pinson Valley senior wide receiver Amare Thomas had 187 yards receiving and three touchdowns during the Indian’s rout of Pell City – all in the first half.
Moody High School running back Blaine Burke and Pinson Valley High School wide receiver Amare Thomas are the Trussville Tribune’s Co-Players of the Week.
Moody running back Blaine Burke, a player who doesn’t get enough recognition on the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense, ran for 234 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-13 win over Southside. For their efforts, Thomas and Burke are the Tribune’s Co-Players of the Week.
