BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott junior wide receiver Jake Pelletier (Trumbull, Conn.) and freshman free safety Allen Gibson (Seymour, Conn.) have both earned weekly awards from the New England Football Conference (NEFC) for their respective performances last week against Curry. Pelletier was named the NEFC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career, while Gibson picked up his third straight NEFC Defensive Rookie of the Week honor.

Teammates Michael Scherer (Middlefield, Conn.) and Thomas Johnson (Pembroke, Mass.) were also named to the NEFC Honor Roll for their performances last week.

Gibson, who has claimed NEFC Defensive Rookie of the Week accolades for the third consecutive week,  ranked second on the team in tackles with eight total (six solo, two assisted) for the Gulls in their 27-21 (4OT) win over Curry on Saturday.

NEFC WEEKLY HONOR ROLL

Coming off the bench for the Gulls late in the contest, Scherer registered two touchdowns (one rushing, one passing) to go along with 36 yards rushing and 37 yards passing in a thrilling 27-21 (4OT) victory over Curry.
