Fort Worth Christian QB honored as Texas high school football player of the week
Fort Worth Christian quarterback Carson Cross was named a Week 10/Week 6 Built Ford Tough Texas High School Football Player of the Week on Wednesday after his big night vs. Flower Mound Coram Deo.
The Cardinals, who erased a 16-13 halftime deficit to win 48-33, got over 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing from Cross.
Cross threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns and added a career-high 250 yards rushing and another two TDs for a total of 540 yards.
One of Cross’ rushing TDs came from 68 yards.
“Carson is a great leader for us. He makes you go offensively,” FWC coach Jared Hudgins said. “He is able to respond to adversity well and is a huge supporter of all his teammates.”
Cross and the Cardinals look to stay in the win column when they host Grapevine Faith at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
