2A East Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ayden Dodge Dazzles in Strasburg Win
Starting off the list is Strasburg's Ayden Dodge, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Dodge rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Dodge has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 118.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.75 rushing yards per game.

Elizabeth Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Joaquin Aviles
Elizabeth picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Joaquin Aviles. Aviles did his part (and then some), rushing for 43 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 79 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
Elizabeth pushed their record up to 6-2 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Aviles and Elizabeth will venture away from home to take on Kent Denver at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
