Terrelle Pryor, of Jeanette, is this week's winner of the Operation Football Student-Athlete of the Week award.

Pryor, quarterback of the Jeanette Jayhawks, led his team to a 19-14 victory last week against the Aliquippa Quips in the second round of the WPIAL playoffs. He rushed for a total of 201 yards and three touchdowns in that game. One touchdown came off of a 33-yard run and a second off of a 84-yard run, both in the third quarter.

The win over Aliquippa moved the Jayhawks into the next round of the playoffs, where they will face the Brentwood Spartans on Friday at Elizabeth Forward at 7:30 p.m.

Channel 4 Action Sports anchor Jon Burton presented Pryor with his trophy Thursday afternoon.

Thanks to sponsor Pizza Hut, Operation Football donated $250 to the school in Pryor's name and 50 shirts to the team.
