Every week this season, Shore Conference football fans will get their chance to vote for the Sport Clips Football Player of the Week on our website, with more than 90,000 votes already cast in the first three weeks.

The latest recipient of the fans' voting is Freehold Boro junior quarterback/safety Jake Curry. One of the leaders of a Colonials team off to its best start since winning a state title in 2008, Curry has been voted by the fans as the Sport Clips Shore Conference Football Player of the Week for his performance in a Week Two victory over Howell in Class A North.

Curry was making plays all over the field as he ran for a career-high 143 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, including an 80-yard touchdown run, in a 41-21 win over the Rebels. Curry also threw a 40-yard touchdown pass in the win. Defensively, he returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown to help cement the Colonials’ 3-0 start and stamp them as a darkhorse contender in Class A North.

He received 33.7 percent of the vote to just edge out Central sophomore running back Mike Bickford, who had 120 yards rushing and two touchdowns in an upset win over Barnegat in Class B South.
