Nunemaker wins Metro Spotlight Award
Tyler Nunemaker of Cedar Rapids Prairie is the winner of the Metro Spotlight Award for high school boys this week, the Metro Sports Report announced Sunday.
Nunemaker, a senior quarterback, has played extremely well the last two weeks to help Prairie make the Class 4A playoffs. The Hawks have scored 101 points in their last two games with a 56-41 victory over Muscatine and a 45-20 conquest of Ottumwa.
Nunemaker completed all five of his passes against Muscatine for 155 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns against the Muskies, giving him a rare double-double for a quarterback with more than 100 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in a single game.
