The Player and Coach of the Week awards were handed out on tonight’s edition of Varsity Central Chat. You can watch a replay of the show (which I thought was pretty good) by clicking here. The honorees:

Player of the Week
Mike Fraioli, Lakeland: A Hornets player gets the top honors for the second week in a row. Last week, Conor Prunty got the accolades for carrying Lakeland past Yorktown and into the Class A playoffs. Fraioli was the workhorse in the upset win over Fox Lane. He carried the ball 36 times for 168 yards and a touchdown and a force at middle linebacker at the high-powered Foxes were shutout, 24-0. Fraioli took quite a beating with his 36 carries. But he helped move the chains and keep the Fox Lane offense off the field, which was just as important as any tackling the Hornets did all night.

Coach of the Week
Mike O’Donnell, Stepinac: What was supposed to be the biggest test of Stepinac’s regular season was just another rout in a remarkable season. The Crusaders are perhaps the most confident team in the area after dominating Cardinal Hayes 44-19 in a CHSFL matchup. O’Donnell has as explosive an offense of any in the area and a defense that’s averaging four sacks, three takeaways and allowed the fewest points (60) in the CHSFL.
