Sweet Water senior running back Jakoby Aldridge receives a T-shirt from ESPN 104.9 Coaches Show host Rob Pearson last Tuesday night at Batter Up. Aldridge is the ESPN 104.9 Player of the Week.

In a game where his team needed him the most, Jakoby Aldridge delivered in a big way last week in a 35-32 win over Washington County.

Aldridge rushed for 298 yards and five touchdowns in the game, bringing his totals to 1,324 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns through the season’s first seven games.

Aldridge scored on runs of 4, 39, 82, 16 and 25 yards in the contest.

The performance came a week after Aldridge had 17 carries for 173 yards and four touchdowns against Flomaton.

Aldridge’s performance against Washington County made him the first back-to-back winner of the ESPN 104.9 Coaches Show Player of the Week Award.

It also has landed Aldridge in an al.com poll to be named the Mobile area Player of the Week. Voting in the poll expires at noon Wednesday.
