McCollum named Built Ford Tough Player of the Week

Wimberley Texan Quarterback Cooper McCullough was one of six Texas high school football stars recognized in the eighth week of the 2019 Built Ford Tough Texas High School Football Player of the Week program.

In its fourteenth consecutive year, Ford Motor Company’s Player of the Week program is again honoring six outstanding student-athletes each week of the 2019 regular season, recognizing one player in each of the state’s six athletic classifications. The winners are chosen for athletic achievements on the field, as well as for outstanding scholarship and community involvement.

In Week 8, Wimberley quarterback Cooper Mc-Collum was 16 of 20 passing for 339 yards and four touchdowns, achieving 293 of the 339 yards in the first half alone. McCollum also had six carries for 39 yards. The Texan senior ended the night with a total of 383 yards and six touchdowns against previously unbeaten Bandera, bringing Wimberley a 6-1 at that point in the season.

Additionally, fans can catch all the action on Fox Sports Southwest. The network is again teaming with Ford and Texas Ford dealers to keep up with award winners through its weekly television show. Each week, television crews will travel to communities across Texas, spotlighting players who excel on the field, in the classroom and in their communities. The half-hour Built Ford Tough Texas High School Football Player of the Week program will air on Fridays at 8:00AM, with a re-broadcast at 8:30AM on Saturday.
