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!
A Season-Best Performance from Stephen Kelley Ii Leads Harford Tech over Perry Hall
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 match was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
Kelley Ii must have Perry Hall's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Kelley Ii last faced the Gators back in October of 2023, he threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt.

Michael Robinson Delivers Electric Performance Vs North Harford
Edgewood picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Michael Robinson. Robinson did his part (and then some), rushing for 93 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 82 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Edgewood pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Robinson and Edgewood will take on Harford Tech at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jaxon Simms and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Jaxon Simms was instrumental in extending C. Milton Wright's winning streak to four on Friday. Simms did his part (and then some), rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
On the season, 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 had one rushing touchdown.

Big Game from Evans As Harford Tech Won 33-32
Karon Evans's big game helped extend Harford Tech's winning streak to five on Friday. Evans was unstoppable, picking up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 52 yards.
Unfortunately for Perry Hall, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Evans. Evans picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dylan James Makes Top Five
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' next game is against Dundalk on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
