Vandegrift High School seniors Brendan Fournier and Adam Scott were recently honored as the Texas Offensive and Defensive Football Players of the Week, respectively, for their outstanding performances between December 18 and 21.

His performance helped secure the title for his team and earned him the prestigious Offensive Player of the Week title, as he garnered 56.4 percent of the vote, surpassing South Oak Cliff’s Mikail Trotter, who received 29.21 percent.
