Since taking over the starting signal caller duties as a sophomore following the graduation of future Georgia standout and national champion Ladd McConkey, Seth Griffin has stolen the show for the Mountaineers.
The North Murray senior produced one of his finest moments last Friday, throwing for 395 yards and adding 178 rushing yards in a 54-50 come-from-behind home win over Pickens.
With 56 seconds left in the game, Griffin accounted for his seventh and final touchdown by hitting senior receiver Jadyn Rice over the middle at the 13-yard line. Rice then shed five tackles as he willed his way across the goal line for the game-winning score.
The Mountaineers entered the fourth quarter trailing 50-40. For his effort, Griffin is this week’s Times Free Press Player of the Week.
