2A East Central Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jamarae Lamb Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Wallace-Rose Hill had to settle for second even though Jamarae Lamb put up the best numbers he has all season. Lamb rushed for 187 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.9). Those 187 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Lamb is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Kinston on Friday. When Lamb last faced the Vikings back in October of 2023, he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 41 receiving yards.
