Two River Times 2016 Football Player of the Year
Eddie Lewis, Mater Dei Prep
From Sports Editor Rich Chrampanis:
Picking a Player of the Year for 2016 could be an endless argument as there truly is no clear choice. Mike Ruane from Rumson-Fair Haven is one of the best defensive players in the entire state and all Michael O’Connor did at quarterback for the Bulldogs was shine once again in a state championship game. Middletown North’s Donald Glenn might have been the best pro-style quarterback in the entire state and he’s got the numbers to prove it. You could also make the case for Saint John Vianney’s Micah Clark, one of the nation’s most highly recruited offensive lineman who could be the start of a resurgence of football at Rutgers. In the end, we chose the one player who made the one play that will be talked about for many years to come. Mater Dei Prep’s Eddie Lewis showed throughout the year that he was so dangerous every time he touched the ball and his hook and ladder touchdown was proof positive that big players make big plays in big games.
