Flag Football Player of the Week: Aaliyah Silver, Greenbrier

Aaliyah Silver, a sophomore wide receiver/running back at Greenbrier, is GHSF Daily’s Flag Football Player of the Week. Silver has 44 receptions for 432 yards on offense and 49 stops and seven interceptions on defense for an 11-1 team that has shut out nine opponents and hasn’t lost since its opener. Silver has scored a team-leading 14 touchdowns. She’s also a basketball and soccer player. “She has great instincts,” Greenbrier coach Daniel Jordan said. “I think it comes from playing other sports. She reads the quarterback’s eyes. She’s also a super-fast learner. If you tell her something once, she sees it the next time.”

GHSF Daily, in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, will recognize a Flag Football Player of the Week each Monday through the December state finals. The Falcons will provide a “Falcons Care Package” of souvenirs and merchandise to each weekly winner at the end of the season. Nominations can be sent by Sunday each week by clicking here.
