Upper Chesapeake Bay - Chesapeake 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!
Stephen Kelley Ii Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Harford Tech got the W thanks in part to Stephen Kelley Ii playing the best football he has all season. Kelley Ii wasn't messing around, throwing for 355 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.1% of his passes. The contest was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Perry Hall had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Kelley Ii it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kelley Ii saw the Gators), he threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt.

Edgewood Gets a Boost from Robinson in 35-6 Win
Michael Robinson was instrumental in extending Edgewood's winning streak to seven on Thursday. North Harford had no answer to Robinson as he rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 82 yards and a touchdown. Robinson was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 62 yards.
Edgewood pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Robinson will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Harford Tech on Friday.

C. Milton Wright Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Jaxon Simms
Jaxon Simms's big game helped extend C. Milton Wright's winning streak to four on Friday. Joppatowne had no answer to Simms as he rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Simms has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 78 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 35.14 rushing yards per game.

Karon Evans' Big Game Leads Harford Tech over Perry Hall
Karon Evans's big game helped extend Harford Tech's winning streak to five on Friday. Evans was dynamite, picking up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 52 yards.
Perry Hall's probably not too fond of Evans given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Evans saw the Gators), he picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

James Made His Presence Known in Bel Air's 29-3 Victory
Rounding off our Top Five is Dylan James of Bel Air. James rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Bel Air now has a winning record of 4-3. James and Bel Air will take on Dundalk at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
