Kirby Van Der Kamp has shined as the team’s most valuable player. He consistently puts the ball inside the opponent’s 20 and has yet to get blocked all season. The field goal kicking has been a mess with Cole Netton missing everything outside of the red zone. Jarvis West has shined as the kick returner in the last two games, including the first kickoff return for a touchdown in 19 years.
Grade: B-
