Here are our picks for Rutherford County Player of the Week after the conclusion of Week 9.
5Jose Baeza, kicker, Smyrna

Smyrna scored a last-second, 15-14 victory over Stewart’s Creek on Friday. The man responsible for the final points was kicker Jose Baeza, who nailed a field goal in the game’s final seconds. Baeza hit a pair of kicks from 26 yards, and one more from 24. Baeza added a successful onside kick, to boot.
4Kemari McGowan, running back/linebacker, Middle Tennessee Christian

The MTCS star has been great as a running back, and his 14-carry, 126-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 55-21 win over Middle Tennessee Christian was nothing new. What was new was McGowan’s defensive impact. As a linebacker, he added a sack and forced a fumble on Friday, too.
3Woodi Washington, defensive back/wide receiver, Oakland

Like McGowan, Washington is no stranger to our rankings. Washington was also like McGowan in that he added a big contribution on both sides of the ball last Friday. In Oakland’s 50-14 pounding of Siegel, the junior caught six balls for 124 yards and a score, and added an interception on defense. The Patriots remain unbeaten.
