Midwest

Jack Kelly, Brother Rice (Mich).

Kelly helped Brother Rice pull off an incredible victory over Victor (N.Y.), which previously had a 50-game winning streak. Kelly’s offense provided the spark needed for Brother Rice to pull out the victory. Kelly, a midfielder for Brother Rice, committed to Georgetown in late 2016. 

Also notable: Caleb Anderson, St. Xavier (Ohio); Hub Hejna, East Grand Rapids; Matt Schmidt, Culver Prep (Ind.)

— Justin Boggs

West

Bryn Evans, St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.)

The senior midfielder picked up his second Player of the Week nod this season after leading the Wildcats to a 2-1 finish last week on the East Coast in a stretch that included games against two teams in the national top 5. Overall, he had 10 goals, 12 groundballs and six caused turnovers, but it was his performance in an upset of then-No. 5 Chaminade (N.Y.) that put him over the top. He tallied six goals in the 11-10 win, besting his three-goal effort in a respectable loss to No. 1 Landon (Md.).

Also notable: John Bethel, Corona del Mar (Calif.); Griffin Gharrity, Cherry Creek (Colo.); Jonah Hirshom, Mountain Vista (Colo.); Brennan Moloney, Bellevue (Wash.)
