Graham senior Makhi Enoch is the Times-News Football Player of the Week for Aug. 23-29, as determined by a fan vote.
Enoch reeled in five catches for 154 yards and two touchdowns in the Red Devils' 50-40 victory against visiting Carrboro on Saturday.
The Red Devils offense found a wealth of success in that game, with quarterback Dexter Flood throwing for 366 yards and four touchdowns and junior Khavarie Hightower catching four passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns.
Graham next takes the field Friday night when it plays host to Bishop McGuinness.
The Times-News hopes to put together a weekly football player of the week and athlete of the week (for sports other than football), to be voted on by the public.
Coaches and athletic directors can nominate a player for football player of the week and/or athlete of the week by sending nominations to david.kehrli@thetimesnews.com by noon Sunday. Include the player's name, year in school, accomplishments for the week and a head shot photo.
