It was a defensive battle for 48 minutes, and Michael Gelatko’s efforts in Marian Catholic’s win last week earned him the Week 5 4th Down Magazine Colonial-Schuylkill League Player of the Week.
The junior defensive back recorded 11 tackles (three for loss) in a 12-6 victory over Nativity BVM. He also added a sack for the 3-2 Colts.
A total of 6,196 votes were cast, with Colts fans coming out in droves to vote 3,276 times for Gelatko, beating Minersville defensive tackle Cade Schultz (2,330).
