5A Front Range - North Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Jordan Rechel Leads Fairview over Fort Collins
On Thursday, Fairview got the W thanks in part to Jordan Rechel playing the best football he has all season. Rechel rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 68 yards.
Rechel must have Fort Collins's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rechel saw the Lambkins), he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
