Mooresville High School’s AJ Graham is The Charlotte Observer/Deer Park Water high school football defensive player of the week.

Graham won a week-long vote of the newspaper’s readers and will receive a trophy from the water company.

In last week’s 14-13 win over Reagan, Graham had two interceptions, including one in the end zone in the fourth quarter. He also recovered an onside kick with two minutes left in the game.
