Williams’ remarkable achievement of 194 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns was pivotal in leading his team to a playoff victory against McAdory and a spot in the second round.
During the award presentation, David Greene, representing Greene and Phillips, joined Fox Ten’s Daeshen Smith at Saraland High School to honor Williams. His performance not only showcased his athletic prowess but also underscored his leadership both on and off the field.
Williams, expressing gratitude for the honor, attributed his success to the team’s collective effort and strategic gameplay. Saraland’s Coach Jeff Kelly praised Williams for his leadership qualities, describing him as an “outstanding football player” and a “great guy in the locker room.”
Greene commended Williams for his exceptional talent and foresaw a promising future for him at the University of Alabama. Williams’ contributions have been a significant factor in Saraland High School’s continued success under Coach Kelly’s guidance.

This award marks the final Player of the Week recognition of the football season. A big thank you to Emily Cochran and everyone at Fox 10 for helping us highlight excellence among high school players across the region. We also want to thank all the coaches and teams who warmly welcomed us every week.
Royal, a senior running back, delivered a trifecta of touchdowns during last Friday’s game that fueled the Dolphins’ triumph over BC Raine . His remarkable 90-yard kickoff return, coupled with a 61-yard punt return and a 50-yard free kick return—all in the first half—were pivotal in reversing the team’s fortunes.
Personal Injury Attorney Stephen Collins of Greene & Phillips handed over the Player of the Week award to Royal, who humbly credited his teammates for the victory. “It’s definitely a team award,” Royal stated, emphasizing the collective effort that spurred his individual success.
Head Coach, Mark Hudspeth, praised Royal’s contributions on the field and also highlighted his character off the field, “He’s an exceptional player, but even better kid, a couple of weeks ago, we get through the Friday night game, probably 1030…. He’s handing out food the next morning at 6 a.m. at the church food pantry.”
Royal’s advice to peers is poignant: push forward regardless of the odds, maintain humility, and keep striving. His philosophy of hard work and perseverance resonates strongly in his community.
After presenting the award to Royal, Stephen Collins remarked , “This is one of our biggest missions. It’s to support our local community. So Greene & Phillips feels very passionate about supporting these local athletes. We love doing High School Player of the Week, whether that’s with football or any other sport.”
The Gulf Shores Dolphins head into the playoffs as the top seed.
Congratulations to Ronnie Royal for his amazing performance throughout the season and especially at Friday night’s gam. We look forward to seeing what he does at NC State as a member of the Wolfpack.
Amidst all the remarkable plays in week ten, Martin Corte, a senior running back from St. Michael Catholic School, was a cut above the rest.
In a thrilling game that concluded with a 55-54 win in overtime against T.R. Miller High School, Corte showcased a stunning athletic display, rushing for 187 yards and scoring a whopping six touchdowns. But in receiving the honor, the star running back was quick to highlight the team effort. “I think it was more of a team performance like my offensive line, they were the one to open up the holes for me, them, the wides, the receivers, everyone really just blocked the tail off and opened the holes, and I cut and got to open field.
His outstanding contribution to the game wasn’t restricted to just the offensive front. Coach Simon Cortopassi of St. Michael’s was quick to emphasize, “It was a great time to probably have the game of his life, you know, six touchdowns and 180+ rushing yards, I think another 60 receiving. And he played another 50, 60 snaps on defense, too.” Beyond Corte’s athletic prowess, Coach Cortopassi highlighted his dedication, especially during the off-season, where he took to the weight room, encouraging his teammates to become “bigger, stronger and faster.”
For Corte, being recognized as the Player of the Week was more than just an accolade. “I mean, it’s awesome. I haven’t won many awards, so it’s pretty cool,” he said, visibly elated. David Greene, representing Greene & Phillips, presented the award to Corte for his outstanding performance. “He is a fantastic young player… Congratulations to you from Greene & Phillips. You’re the player of the week,” Greene stated, emphasizing Corte’s significant achievements in the game.
This win wasn’t just a personal victory for Corte. It also marked a historic moment for St. Michael Catholic School, securing their spot in the playoffs for the first time in the program’s seven-year history.

He rushed for an impressive 264 yards and scored four touchdowns all in the first half of the game.
The award was presented to him on Tuesday by Fox 10’s Emily Cochran and Personal Injury Attorney, David Greene. Navontay expressed his gratitude for the recognition and attributed his success to the support of his teammates, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in achieving such remarkable accomplishments.
Steve Mask, Theodore’s Head Coach, had high praise for Navontay’s dedication and hard work. He highlighted Navontay’s leadership both on and off the field, describing him as a “big-time leader” and one of the team’s permanent captains. Navontay’s work ethic and commitment to excellence were evident, making him a true inspiration to his peers.
After meeting the team and presenting the award, David Greene commended Navontay’s outstanding performance and the synergy he displayed with his Theodore Bobcat team including four touchdowns and 264 rushing yards.
Navontay’s love for football was palpable, and his passion for the game was evident in every play. In a time when dedication to the sport is a rare find, Navontay’s unwavering commitment to football stands as a testament to his character and determination.
We congratulate Navontay on his outstanding achievement and look forward to witnessing more of his impressive feats on the football field in the future.

Game Highlights
Yelding showcased exceptional skill as he threw for 236 yards and five touchdowns, contributing significantly to the Red Raiders’ win. The presentation ceremony took place earlier this week, with Emily Cochran of Fox 10 and David Greene of Greene & Phillips Personal Injury Lawyers making the award.

We executed very well offensively, defensively, getting us the ball back.”
A Proud Father and Coach
Lawrence Yelding, Amari’s father and coach, expressed his pride not just as a parent but also from a coaching perspective. “Amari had a great game on Friday night. So I’m just super proud that, you know, he’s remained diligent, worked hard and kind of persevered. And, you know, now it’s kind of paying off for him a little bit. Extremely proud of him as a dad, extremely proud of him as a coach,” Lawrence said.
Not Just an Individual Achievement
Amari Yelding noted that the award symbolizes more than just individual brilliance. “It means a lot because to me, the award is not just for me, but a representation of how hard our whole team worked. And even though it says Player of the Week, it’s really about our whole team and how we were able to work together,” Yelding added.
College World Take Note
David Greene summed up the sentiment, saying, “What a big win against UMS Wright. Five touchdowns, 236 yards for a very fine young player. College World Lookout, he’s coming.”

As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, the fall season marks not just a change in weather but also a time of festivities. Halloween is fast approaching and homeowners expecting trick-or-treaters should be aware of a few important safety issues. David Greene of Greene & Phillips Personal Injury Lawyers recently talked with Joe Emer on Studio 10’s Legal Matters to discuss key considerations for making this Halloween a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
1. Remove Decorations and Debris from Yard
Remove from your porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and unnecessary lawn decorations. Also check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs. Sweep or blow leaves and debris from sidewalks and driveways. Finally, make sure to restrain all pets so that they do not inadvertently bite or jump on trick-or-treaters.
2. Clearly Mark any Cords and Other Tripping Hazards
Check your sidewall for uneven areas that could be tripping hazards. Examine your yard and porch for power cords for lights or decorations. If you can’t remove them, make them highly visible, even in the dark. Be mindful that children won’t necessarily follow designated paths. The last thing anyone wants is for a child to be hurt.
3. Obey Pedestrian Laws
As your out trick-or-treating, make sure everyone in the group is careful to follow all pedestrian laws. Walking in the street at dusk or dark can be very dangerous when cars are around.
4. Carry a Flashlight
Carry a flashlight with fresh batteries, and a fully charged cell phone for good communication. Only approach houses that are well lit, and never enter a stranger’s home. If older children plan to go trick-or-treating alone, review a route that is acceptable to you and agree on a specific time for them to return. And then once you are home, inspect all candy and treat before you consume them. Throw away anything that is unwrapped or spoiled, and don’t eat anything that is homemade from someone you don’t know.
