SALT LAKE CITY – The Hercules Salt Lake County High School Player of the Week is celebrating the best high school football player in Salt Lake County.

Salt Lake County Players of the Week – Tyson Demke, QB & Quinton Tulau, LB (West Jordan)
The West Jordan Jaguars’ series history against the Alta Hawks is long on losses, but short on victories. Tyson Demke and Quinton Tulau helped the Jaguars make some history Friday night when they faced the Hawks.
Alta raced out to a 21-3 first half lead thanks to a trio of touchdowns, but West Jordan battled back. Demke connected for a pair of touchdowns just before halftime to make it a 21-17 game at the break. In the second half, Tulau led a stifling defensive effort to shutout the Hawks, tallying seven total tackles, 1.5 sacks and two interceptions. Demke hooked up with Julius Mulitalo for a 77-yard go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter. For his part, Demke amassed 271 passing yards and three touchdown in his performance. The Jaguars would earn their third victory all-time in the 18-game series with the Hawks with a 31-21 win.
