JUPITER- Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a two-for to start your day.
The Douglas brothers from Jupiter High, Luke (QB) and Preston (TE/DE) are the New Era Prep Week 7 MVP and Offensive Player of the Week. Luke was voted as MVP by 29% of our Twitter viewers, and Preston was voted as Offensive Player of the Week by 33% of our viewers. For those that do not know, you can find all of our weekly superlatives on the New Era Prep Twitter account!
When asked about their victories this week, Luke and Preston said:
“Having the honor of winning MVP for the 561 is a feat that I’ve always wanted to achieve.” Luke said. “To win it now, it shows that the work i’m putting in is working, which enhances my motivation for the rest of the season. It’s a privilege to play with my brother at this level, many can say that they were able to play along side their brother but something that makes it truly specially is me being able to throw repetitive touchdown passes to him.”
“Winning offensive player is obviously super cool and shows the love our Jupiter community gives us.” Preston said. “Playing with Luke is a blessing because we have had a connection growing up that has helped us excel on the field. It is many peoples dream but our reality.”
