Central’s Welch named Applebee’s of Farmington Athlete of the Week

(Park Hills) Central Rebels senior Dayshawn Welch is the Applebee’s of Farmington Athlete of the Week.

The all-time career rushing leader in Central football history continued to add to his impressive resume in a 70-0 win over Cuba Friday night.

Welch ran for 166 yards in the win over the Wildcats, and he set another single-game record by scoring touchdowns on five of his 6 carries.

Welch is trying to chase down the single-season records for rushing and scoring that he already owns.

Rebels head coach Kory Schweiss says Welch has proven to be a steady performer from day one.

Welch has run for more yards in a single game than any Central player, and he’s already piled up over 4,300 yards and 55 TDs in his career.

As Athlete of the Week, he receives a T-shirt, a certificate and a coupon for a free entree at Applebee’s in Farmington.

The Central Rebels will be our special guest on the Cole’s Tractor and Equipment Football Roundtable Tuesday night live from Applebee’s starting at 6 on J98.
