Dawson County sophomore quarterback Zach Holtzclaw won the Fan Vote for BLITZ Player of the Week, taking 2,845 of the total 7,714 votes. He edged Jefferson’s Colby Clark (2,136). BLITZ then named Gunner Stockton Co-Player of the Week.

ZACH HOLTZCLAW (FAN VOTE)

Just weeks ago, the Dawson County coaching staff had not even named a starting quarterback for this season. Now, it appears as though sophomore Zach Holtzclaw can hold that title for this year and the years to come.

In a big win for the #8-ranked Tigers, Holtzclaw threw for 188 yards and a pair of TDs, and added 22 yards rushing for good measure. He completed 9-of-15 passes (60%) and had his second-best QB rating of the season (143.8). In 2019, he has thrown for 977 yards with 10 TD against 3 interceptions. His completion percentage is 59%. While he seldom runs, he has 87 rushing yards to go with 1 TD.

GUNNER STOCKTON (BLITZ PICK)

Gunner Stockton takes the honors for the second straight week, and 7th time overall in his still-young career. In what marked his second straight and fourth-ever 7 TD performance, Stockton was as good as always in a win over Banks County. The Wildcat sophomore threw for 354 yards and 4 TD, and added 86 rushing yards and 3 TD while coming out early in the 3rd quarter. He completed a career-high 26 passes on 33 attempts (79%), leading to a career-best 368 yards passing and his third 4-passing-TD game in a row. His QB rating was 153.8, his second-best ever. He also rushed for 84 yards and 3 TD, doing so on just 9 carries (9.3 yds/carry).

This season, Stockton has thrown for 1,611 yards and 20 TD against 3 interceptions. The sophomore 5-star recruit has completed 72% of his pass attempts, holding a QB rating of 137.4 for the #2-ranked Wildcats. Stockton also has 559 rushing yards on 64 carries (8.7/carry) with 10 more TDs. That brings his career numbers to 4,528 passing yards for 54 TD with 67% completion percentage, adding 1,268 rushing yards and another 27 scores. That’s a grand total of 5,796 yards and 81 TDs.
