Week 3- Special Teams Player of the Week

In Week 2 of High School Football, we saw another batch of great performances by a number of  specialists.  Our week 2 Minnesota Prep Athlete Special Teams Player of the Week hails from Lakeville South, Brendan Boche.   He had a big day for his team kicking 2 for 2 on PATS and also going 2 for 2 on Field Goals (42 & 49 yards) and scoring 8 points for his team.  Brendan has really developed over the last 2 years to become a clutch kicker.  Brendan has converted 4 Field Goals all over 40 yards each.  He gets great height on his Kickoffs which often prevents his opponent from making a big return. Congratulations!
