Devine junior two-way athlete Brody Lane absolutely went off last week, tearing it up on both sides of the ball against the Hondo Owls and earning himself Express-News Athlete of the Week honors. This kid was straight-up dynamic, making plays that had everyone talking.
Lane Was Everywhere in Devine’s Dominant Win
In the Warhorses’ massive 59-7 win over Hondo, Lane wasn’t just good, he was *everywhere*. On defense, he picked off a pass, then forced and recovered a fumble, plus he racked up three solo tackles. That’s a triple-threat of defensive impact right there, turning the ball over and shutting down plays. But he wasn’t done! On offense, he was the primary threat, pulling in six catches for 110 yards and a ridiculous three touchdowns. Talk about a do-it-all performance, huh? It’s not every day you see a junior defensive back also being the main man in the receiving game with that kind of production.
Beating Out Serious Competition For The Top Spot
Lane’s Athlete of the Week award wasn’t just handed to him. He was first named Express-News Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, which is already a huge deal. But by the end of the week, he beat out four other finalists in the Athlete of the Week poll. And we’re talking about some serious talent he topped. Brandeis quarterback Wynter Smith, the Offensive Player of the Week, had a monster game himself, rushing for 209 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries, *and* throwing for 146 yards and three touchdowns on 9-of-13 passing in a 56-29 win. Then there was Boerne Geneva junior Shae McNew, who bulldozed for 233 yards and four touchdowns, averaging over 10.5 yards per carry. On the volleyball court, Clemens senior McKenna Gobin stuffed the stat sheet with 25 kills, 21 digs, five blocks, three aces, and seven assists to lead her team to a playoff win, and Brandeis junior Cecily Alva had 15 kills in a sweep. Lane beat out all these incredible performances to grab the top honor. That tells you everything about just how dominant his week was. He absolutely earned it.
