Nick Heras, Newton South: No wins last year for the Lions, but suddenly they're 2-1 behind the sophomore quarterback, who ran and passed for more than 100 yards, combining for four touchdowns.

Division 5

Keylin McCray, Boston English: With the 14-6 win over New Mission, the Blue & Blue (1-1) finally earned their first on-field win since coach Chris Boswell took over in 2010 and McCray had a lot to do with it. He rushed for the team’s first touchdown of the season and later in the first half ripped off New Mission receiver Isshiah Coleman in the end zone for a game-changing interception before intermission.
