Gladewater running back Trayvion Watts (left) is just a sophomore, people! And he’s coming off a 350-yard, five-touchdown performance in the Bears’ 2024 season finale over a good White Oak team; that performance won Watts the Whataburger / ETBlitz.com boys Player of the Week for Nov. 4-9. GHS assistant coach Austin Blanco is pictured with Watts. Below: the Whataburger / ETB girls Player of the Week award-winner, Bella Mata (right), who went nuts in a pair of 3A volleyball playoff games last week. Also pictured: Lady Raiders coach Melissa Abrams. Here’s a link to our story from earlier this week, the announcement of their wins: WR’S MATA, GLADEWATER’S WATTS | Next-level performances to capture the Whataburger / ETBlitz.com Players of the Week!.
