🦁🏈 MAJORS PLAYER OF THE WEEK — BRANTLEY MARTIN! 🏈🦁

This week’s Majors Player of the Week goes to Mr. Brantley Martin!

Brantley is an absolute BEAST on both sides of the football! 💪

On offense, Brantley is doing the work that doesn’t always show up on a stat sheet. He’s taking on 2 and sometimes 3 defenders every snap, battling in the trenches and doing whatever it takes to protect his QB and move that line of scrimmage!

Then he turns around on defense and becomes a problem for the other team. Brantley is consistently getting pe*******on, disrupting the backfield, and making offenses account for where he is on every snap.

But what really makes Brantley special is what he brings beyond the whistle. He’s a leader on this Majors team—always supporting his teammates, getting them hyped up, and making sure the energy stays high!

Big plays get attention, but big men make big plays possible. Brantley is proving every week that games are won in the trenches!

Keep bringing that ENERGY, big man! We’re proud of you! 🦁💪

SET THE TONE. WIN THE TRENCHES. LEAD THE PRIDE.

🦁🏈 MINORS PLAYER OF THE WEEK — RICHARD PRESLEY! 🏈🦁

This week’s Minors Player of the Week goes to Mr. Richard “Rich” Presley!

Rich was an absolute FORCE in the trenches! 💪

On defense, he wreaked havoc, fighting through blocks and making his presence felt all game long. Then he flipped over to the offensive side of the ball and parted the sea, opening running lanes and doing the dirty work up front that makes an offense go.

And here’s the exciting part—Rich is a first-year Minor! He’s already established himself as a difference-maker in the trenches, no matter which side of the football he lines up on.

The big guys don’t always get the glory, but football games are won and lost in the trenches—and Rich came to WORK!

Keep grinding, big man! We’re proud of you! 🦁💪

CONTROL THE TRENCHES. CONTROL THE GAME.

🦁🏈 PEEWEES PLAYER OF THE WEEK — CARSON GREEN! 🏈🦁

This week’s Peewees Player of the Week goes to Mr. Carson Green!

Carson showed up and showed out on both sides of the football, finishing with:

🔥 92 rushing yards
🔥 2 touchdowns
🔥 Multiple tackles on defense

As QB1 for our Peewees, Carson does more than make plays—he leads. He plays with toughness, heart, and the kind of leadership we want to see from every young man who puts on a Charlotte Lions jersey.

Keep working, keep leading, and keep representing that Lion Pride, Carson! We’re proud of you!

HEART OF A LION. 🦁💪
