This week’s U16 Players of the Week are about more than just numbers. 💙
U16 Offensive Player of the Week — RB Sidney Ducharme
Sidney battled for 88 yards on 9 carries and added 2 catches for 20 yards.
But this performance goes far beyond the stat sheet. Playing with an incredibly heavy heart after the passing of his mother on Wednesday, Sidney showed tremendous courage and strength by taking the field and battling alongside his teammates. Our entire Panthers family is behind you, Sidney. 💙
U16 Defensive Player of the Week — LB Malik Emond
Malik delivered his best game in two years as a Panther, finishing with 3 solo tackles and 4 assisted tackles. A well-earned recognition after a standout performance.
This game also carried a special meaning for Malik and the entire team. It was our first game dedicated to Malik’s younger sister, Molly, who underwent brain surgery just two days after the Bengals game. Our players wore zipper stickers with “Molly Strong” on them in her honour — a reminder that some things are much bigger than football.
Two Panthers who showed what strength, courage and family are all about.
Congratulations, Sidney and Malik 💙
