DC TOUCHDOWN CLUB HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE WEEK, 12/2:

Congratulations to DC Touchdown Club Player of the Week E.J. Lee! The Northwest senior RB was a one-man wrecking crew in last week’s playoff matchup with DuVal.

“E.J. is a tremendous young man,” said Coach Michael Neubeiser. “He is the player that every coach wishes he had: always on time, ready to work harder than everyone else, always answers with a 'yes sir' and always has a smile on his face. E.J. is the ultimate team player. He is just as happy blocking for a teammate as he is rushing for a touchdown. Northwest would not be playing in the state championship for the second year in a row without E.J. Lee at RB.”
