Smith, Zelinsky Fox Valley area players of the week

Offense

Dillon Smith Larkin

The Larkin senior running back enjoyed a breakout performance, rushing for a season-best 217 yards and 4 touchdowns on 18 carries in a 46-13 win over East Aurora. Smith's 4 scoring plays traversed 18, 2, 23 and 50 yards, respectively.

Defense

Kyle Zelinsky Bartlett

A junior inside linebacker, Zelinsky terrorized the Lake Park backfield all day. In one sequence in the second half, he tackled a ball carrier for a loss, sacked the quarterback, then hurried the quarterback into the arms of another Bartlett defender. He finished with 2½ sacks as the Bartlett defense shut Lake Park out 35-0.
