Player of the Week: Pernell Whitehead

Stone Mountain-Redan Patch Football Honor Roll

Player of the Week

Pernell Whitehead/Stephenson

The amazing Mike Davis has been putting up big numbers for the undefeated Stephenson Jaguars this season, but he may be the first to tell you that he’s not the only reason the Jaguars are undefeated and ranked in the top 10.

Senior Pernell Whitehead has had an impact, too. Last week, he returned the second-half kickoff for a touchdown to start a Stephenson rally in a 34-14 win over Luella.

The week before, he was named the team’s offensive player of the week, as reported to DeKalb County athletics, after rushing for 116 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Other top performers from the area:

Mike Davis, running back: Rushed for 165 yards, three touchdowns versus Luella, according to Georgia High School Football Daily.
