PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Andrew Bolfek, Washington-Liberty High School, Arlington, Va.

Washington-Liberty football coach Josh Shapiro has known Andrew Bolfek since Bolfek was in preschool; Shapiro has a daughter the same age.

And Shapiro knew that Bolfek was a solid athlete. As a sophomore last fall, he was the starting quarterback on the junior varsity. Bolfek moved up to varsity this season, but Shapiro said that Bolfek now only slightly resembles the player he used to know. Since last fall, Shapiro said, Bolfek has grown nearly five inches, to 6 feet 2, and the increased size has made a difference in Bolfeks performance.

This past Friday, Bolfek completed 20 of 36 passes for a school record 409 yards and six touchdowns, each longer than 20 yards, as the Generals beat Langley, 41-21. For his efforts, Bolfek was named the Military Bowl DC Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week.

Its incredible how well hes doing considering how much he has grown, Shapiro said. A lot of times, you sacrifice coordination when you have that kind of growth spurt. Im in shock seeing this kid play so well.

Bolfek had entered the Langley game with just six touchdown passes in the seasons first seven games with a season-high of just 200 yards passing in a game, though Shapiro said that was the result of things beyond Bolfeks control.

I call the offense and were normally run heavy, Shapiro said, adding that the Generals offensive line improved its pass protection against Langley. But after this week, rest assured, we might come out slinging it.
