The final Charlotte Observer high school football player of the week for the spring season is Charlotte Catholic’s Ryan Henley.

Henley, a freshman running back, received more than 42 percent of the vote this week to finish ahead of Salisbury’s JyMikaah Wells and Jalon Walker.

Henley ran 10 times for 85 yards in a 14-7 win over Havelock in the N.C. 3A state championship game.
