Barberton traveled to rival Aurora with a 4-3 record, and on the fringe of the playoff picture. Few fans gave them the chance against the high powered and highly rated Greenmen, but the Magics were not impressed and not afraid of the their opponent and took it to the Greenmen.
Thanks in part to 262 yards and 4 touchdowns from Xavier Macon, the Magics stormed away with a 35-14 victory. This incredible performance by Macon dropped the Greenmen to 6-2 and earned Macon our Jenny’s Old Fashioned Popcorn Player of the Week award.
They are now 5-3 and have a tremendous shot at 7-3 as they close the season with back to back home games. The Magics will host Cuyahoga Falls on October 14, 2022 and Tallmadge on October 21, 2022.
Congrats Xavier!

The rules are as such. You can vote up to 10 times a day by leaving the name of the player you feel had the best week out of the options announced. Leave that players name in the comment section. Also, you can write the name of a player not listed as well for consideration.
All votes must be submitted by Tuesday night at 9pm, and the award winner will be named shortly after that. The fan vote counts as 10% of the final vote, as 9 beat writers also get a vote, covering 10% each.
9 times out of 10, the Fan Vote typically matches the writers vote as well and carries that player to victory.
