Presented by John Watson Chevrolet in Ogden, each week we honor athletes for their exceptional performance on the gridiron. Our winner this week was Fremont quarterback Calvin Cooper.
Northern Utah Players of the Week – Calvin Cooper, Fremont
Coming off of back to back losses, Fremont wanted to start off region play on the right foot when taking on the Bonneville Lakers. Quarterback Calvin Johnson took the opportunity to let the rest of region 5 know that the Silverwolves mean business in region action. Calvin finished the night with 265-yards and three touchdowns, while also finishing as the leading rusher for the Silverwolves with 5 carries 44-yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Silverwolves jumped out to a 20-point first-quarter lead, fueled by Cooper’s 54-yard touchdown pass to Breckon Phillips and a rushing score from Calvin. Fremont’s defense also came up big with a 50-yard scoop and score in the first quarter.
Calvin and the Silverwolves kept their foot on the gas pedal through the second quarter where the chemistry between the quarterback and freshman wide receiver Ky Majors took center stage. Calvin and Ky connected for a 46-yard pass early in the quarter, followed by a 42-yard passing touchdown between the two. Calvin’s final score of the night came off a 1-yard rushing attempt as Fremont cruised and got back into the win column, starting 1-0 in region 5 play.
Every week, KSL Sports will name a Northern Utah high school player of the week in partnership with John Watson Chevrolet in Ogden.
