Performance of the Week: Colon's Justin Wickey
October 27, 2022
Justin Wickey ♦ Colon
Football ♦ Senior
Wickey caught 10 passes for 138 yards and five touchdowns as Colon finished an undefeated regular season with a 60-14 win over Tekonsha. In the process, the senior receiver set two more MHSAA 8-player records, for 31 receiving touchdowns to break the previous single-season record of 27 set by Lawrence’s Matthew Cammire in 2013. Wickey also is up to 55 career receiving touchdowns over the last two seasons, which broke Cammire’s record of 53 set from 2013-14.
Those are just the most recent records Wickey has broken this season. He’s up to 90 catches for 1,569 yards this fall – the 90 catches easily setting a record and the yardage ranking second all-time, 129 from tying the record in that category. His 3,076 career receiving yards in another record, as are his 154 career catches – and his 18 catches against Adrian Lenawee Christian set a single-game 8-player record. That 40-24 win over Lenawee Christian on Sept. 16 ended the Cougars’ 27-game winning streak.
