Mid-Del Players of the Week
Something a little different this week after the performances from the second round of the playoffs:
Offense
Carl Albert quarterback J.T. Realmuto flat took over Carl Albert’s game against Tulsa Kelley on Friday night.
With the Comets focusing on slowing down the versatile Tre Porter, things were more opened up for Realmuto on the ground.
And the Titans’ senior took full advantage, carrying the ball 40 times for 180 yards and four touchdowns — two in overtime — in Carl Albert’s 34-31 double overtime win. For his performance, Realmuto earns the Mid-Del Offensive Player of the Week honors.
One of the defining moments to Carl Albert’s season up until this point has been the fourth and 1 play from deep in the Titans’ territory against Shawnee. The Wolves stopped Carl Albert on that play, a Realmuto keeper to the outside. Shortly after, Shawnee scored what proved to be the game-winning score.
Since then, though, Carl Albert’s offense has woken up. Last week was the first time since that Oct. 2 game that the Titans were held to less than 40 points. Realmuto, and the emergence offensively of Porter, have certainly been two of the biggest parts of that.
Defense
Until early in the fourth quarter of the Carl Albert-Tulsa Kelley game, the Titans were dominant defensively against one of the best offensive lines in the state. The best of Carl Albert’s defenders was David Lambeth. Lambeth had 15 tackles, 2 for a loss, and forced a fumble to earn the Mid-Del Defense Player of the Week honors.
Other:
Greg Austin, Midwest City: The Bombers quarterback threw for nearly 300 yards and a touchdown in Broken Arrow’s 24-17 win over Midwest City. Austin improved throughout the season and gives Midwest City a bright future at quarterback for next season. For the year, Austin threw for around 1,900 yards.
