Junior linebacker Buddy Withers had a great game against West Caldwell and earned the Terrible Terry Tate Defensive MVP Award for the first time this season.Withers racked up a team-leading 14 total tackles, including 10 solo stops and a couple of tackles for loss. He also got the Tornadoes on the board first when he scooped up a fumble and scampered 12 yards for a touchdown. That's his second fumble-return touchdown this season. He scored on a 43-yarder against Maiden.
Honorable mention goes to junior Tyler Barnette. The outside linebacker recorded six tackles (five solo), including a tackle for loss and two sacks. He also caused the fumble that Buddy Withers picked up and returned for the game's first touchdown.
Of course Mikey Shook had another great game. He finished second on the tackles chart with a total of 12. The only other defender with double-digit tackles was senior Chavis Shuford, who had a 10, including three for loss.
Other notable achievements on the defensive side of the ball were turned in by cornerback Trevin Parks who recorded a tackle for loss and a game-ending interception. Kyshell Geter, Rakim Barrett, Clay Johnson, Alex Martin and D.J. Holloway all recorded at least one tackle for loss. Barrett, Drew Siciliano and Cole Smith, all inside linebackers, were credited with "quarterback pressures."
