Freshmen of the Week: Patriots RB Levy "LA" Miller and Lamont Green Jr. of Southwest Miami

Each week in South Florida, it's an enormous challenge for freshmen -- to continue performing beyond their ages, as coordinators are now beginning to game plan, and respect the youthful impact on the varsity level. OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Running back Levy "LA" Miller from Florida Christian is on track to become first-team All-Dade County. Miller has recorded 596 yards and 6 scores on the season. He set another single game record, with 260 all-purpose yards this past week and 3 touchdowns. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Southwest Miami hybrid linebacker/defensive end Lamont Green Jr., is thriving this season on varsity, after experiencing a crash course this past off-season -- challenging older and bigger linemen at football camps. He blocked both a field goal and punt, as well as recording double digit tackles and several sacks. Below are the Freshmen of the week Florida Christian, RB, Levy "LA" Miller
