Somerville’s Brenden Pacheco nabs 2024 Bellamy & Son Paving Player of the Week Scholarship

There were many great performances in high school football this season across the Big Central. So many outstanding efforts to choose from each week with the Bellamy & Son Paving Player of the Week Award, thanks to longtime youth sports supporter and Central Jersey Sports Radio founding sponsor Joe Bellamy.

Each week, we sifted through many nominations. Sometimes it was a slam dunk, some weeks it was more difficult.

In the end, we had to choose one winner for a $500 scholarship from Bellamy & Son Paving, and this year, it went to Somerset County and Somerville’s Brenden Pacheco.

The quarterback for the Liberty Silver Division and Central Jersey Group 3 champion Pioneers, Pacheco had a fantastic season leading a high-octane offense that had a perfect regular season and went 12-0 through their sectional title game win, falling only to Mainland in the Group 3 semifinals.

Pacheco won the award in Week Five for his five touchdown game – four passing, one rushing – against Summit. You can read more about his efforts in that game and the Honorable Mentions that week by clicking here.
