North Posey quarterback, Liam Stone, was voted the Player of the Week for the opening week of High School Football in Southwestern Indiana. This was apart of the Courier and Press High School Football Player of the Week Poll. The Junior received 51.4 percent of the votes. Stone had a worthy effort as the new starting Quarterback. The Junior produced nearly 300 total yards of offense and five touchdowns in a 61-14 victory over South Spencer. He finished 5-of-7 passing for 127 yards and two third-quarter scores, but he did most of his damage on the move. Stone amassed 164 yards on 14 carries and three touchdowns, including a 50-yard score with under a minute remaining in the first half. North Posey Football is home tonight taking on Princeton at 7:00 PM.
