Fairview’s Jake Harper made his presence felt — and then some — this past week.

The junior running back registered 282 yards on 15 carries (18.8 yards per tote) and four touchdowns to help the Class 5A No. 4 Aggies corral a 48-21 road victory over Class 4A No. 5 Good Hope. Not only did Harper break numerous tackles en route to that fantastic performance, but three of the scores came on critical third-down plays against a stingy Raiders defense.

He is The Times’ Athlete of the Week.

Athlete of the Week, which is sponsored by Mitch Smith Chevrolet, is open to all local athletes.

Nominations can be sent to jwinfrey@cullmantimes.com with the person’s name, school and statistics.
