Chi’s Shaw, Chester’s Freeman share Del Val MVP honor
Rashaad Shaw is doing a little bit of everything for Chichester this season.
Last Friday, the senior athlete gave an incredible performance in the Eagles’ 34-7 nonleague victory over Phoenixville, which earned him a share of the Daily Times/Delaware County Football Coaches Association weekly MVP honors in the Del Val League. Shaw had a touchdown via rushing, receiving and punt return. He also notched an interception, a pass breakup and four tackles.
Chester’s Devan Freeman shared the player of the week award in the Del Val. The senior rushed for 202 yards and three TDs to lead the Clippers to their first win, a 48-6 rout of Overbrook.
Springfield’s Ja’Den McKenzie was MVP in the Central League. McKenzie scored four touchdowns, including one fumble return, in the Cougars’ 41-13 win over Strath Haven. He rushed for 150 yards and three TDs as the Cougars (4-0) stayed perfect.
Among the Independent Schools, Sun Valley’s Caliph Jones earned player of the week honors following his 156-yard, two-touchdown rushing performance in a 26-22 loss to Great Valley.
