The Habersham EMC Linemen of the Week after Week Six are Cesar Cruz (Rabun County) for the O-Line, and Oscar Escobedo (Jefferson) for the D-Line.

CESAR CRUZ – OL

Cesar Cruz continues to dominate in the trenches. The senior lineman for the Rabun County Wildcats graded the highest among everyone on the field in the top-5 battle of Rabun and Whitefield Academy at 83%. On the flip side, he also could be the DL of the Week winner, as Cruz had 6 tackles and 7 QBH to his credit. This is Cruz’s fourth career POW award.

Other Standouts: Commerce OL, Dawson County OL

OSCAR ESCOBEDO – DL

Oscar Escobedo more than earns DLOW honors, as the senior defensive end registered 11 tackles and 2 for loss in #7 Jefferson’s region-opening win over Clarke Central on the road. He continues to disrupt opposing offenses in what is becoming a stellar senior season for him. This is Escobedo’s first POW award.

Other Standouts: Cesar Cruz (Rabun SR DL #66 – 6 TKL, 7 QBH; 83% OL); Walker Scott (Lumpkin SO DE – 1 TFL, 1 Sack, Highest Team Grade)
