MT. CARMEL — Mt. Carmel’s Blayne Sisson and Zeke Hadra are the Orthopaedic Center of Southern Illinois Players of the Week for November 8-13.
Sisson and Hadra combined for 246 yards rushing and four touchdowns in the Golden Aces’ 30-14 3A Quarterfinal win over Benton. They were quite a 1-2 punch for the Aces all season, but they were an unexpected dynamic duo. Sisson took over the quarterback spot after an offseason injury to starter Cole Broster. Both players credit the big fellas up front on the line for their success.
Sisson and Hadra combined for three more touchdowns in the semifinals, but Mt. Carmel fell 28-21 at Tolono Unity. The Aces finished a great season 12-1.
