Week 5 Ethan Facey, Arundel

Arundel free safety Ethan Facey is doing his best to make up for lost time.

With Anne Arundel County schools playing a four-game football season this spring, the senior has made sure to be around the ball as much as possible. In Arundel’s game this past week, Facey intercepted two passes and returned a fumble 58 yards for a touchdown as the Wildcats beat Annapolis, 24-8.

Facey also made eight tackles, broke up three other passes and recovered an onside kick. For his efforts, Facey was named the Military Bowl DC Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week 

“He’s also our long snapper and kick returner,” Arundel Coach Jack Walsh said. “But nobody kicks to him because he’s had a lot of success. 

Facey, who is 5 feet 10 and 170 pounds, hopes to play in college.

“He’s one of those kids who needed his senior year to get some looks,” Walsh said. “Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened. Our season just started two weeks ago and we’re going into our third game now. He’s trying to make the most out of his last few high school games.”
