Brandeis quarterback Wynter Smith put on a record-breaking performance last week in helping the Broncos to a key win over Roosevelt.
That star effort now has earned him Express-News Athlete of the Week honors.
The senior rushed 19 times for 153 yards and six touchdowns in the 49-28 victory, breaking the school record for touchdowns in a single game. He also threw for 73 yards and another score on 7-of-10 passing in keeping the Broncos in the thick of the playoff chase in District 28-6A.
He continued his stellar play Thursday in a 51-35 win over Madison, rushing for 232 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries and completing 8 of 14 passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns.
Mere hours after his performance against the Mavericks, the Athlete of the Week poll closed with Smith beating out four fellow finalists from last week's games.
