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!
Jordan Rechel Turns in Season-Best Effort
Fairview was led to victory by Jordan Rechel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Rechel rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest reception was for an impressive 68 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Unfortunately for Fort Collins, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rechel. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Rechel saw the Lambkins), he picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
