Quisha Macauley is the Majestics Player of the Week

A defensive tackle and fullback, Quisha is starting on her third season as a Majestic. From co-owner Camille Head: "She's a smart player who the team counts on in a tough situation. She is strong runner, worthy of not only getting the first downs but picking up a few afterword. She has great hands that make her 'clutch' for option situations."
