Athlete of the Week: Quartez Walker

Every week, the Douglasville Patch will select a high school athlete that exceeded expectations on the field of play.

running back Quartez Walker rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown in Friday’s 24-6 win over Pebblebrook and has been named the Douglasville Patch Athlete of the Week.

Walker plays on both sides of the football – he’s a safety on defense -- for the Panthers and registered seven tackles, one for a loss, and broke up a pass. He also threw a touchdown on a trick play to boot.

“He (Walker) has been a great asset to our program for the last four years and has developed into a team leader,” said Chapel Hill head coach Chris Parker.
