Houston High School junior Chance Hunter, who rushed for 193 yards and four touchdowns in Friday’s 36-35 victory against St. James, was named the ‘Built Ford Tough Player of the Week’
Hunter, a junior, put the finishing touches on the Tigers’ come-from-behind win when he scored from three yards out with 28.4 seconds remaining. Houston, which trailed 35-34, went for the victory and again gave the ball to Hunter, who danced around defenders in the backfield and raced into the end zone for the two-point conversion.
Hunter carried the ball 34 times in the victory and has 315 rushing yards in the Tigers’ two games as they are 2-0 to start the season for the first time since 2008.
The player of the week recognition is selected and sponsored by Romines Motor Co.
