Here’s who fans picked as the Stanislaus District’s football Player of the Week
After taking on the responsibility of Patterson High’s starting quarterback as a freshman and helping take the Tigers to the playoffs last season, Max Medina has only improved this year as a sophomore.
In the Tigers 2023 Central California Conference opener against El Capitan, Medina showcased an all-around refined game by putting up career numbers. He completed 16 passes for 353 yards and five touchdowns, all personal bests. He found junior Noah Cozart four times for 101 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Medina also took great care of the ball in the 47-0 win, throwing just one interception.
The fans noticed his performance and voted him The Bee’s Week 6 Football Player of the Week.
Medina finished first, earning 42% of the votes in the weekly poll. He came in ahead of his teammate, Cozart, and Ripon Christian’s Brady Grondz who finished second and third, respectively.
