2A League 7 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!
Carter Jaeger Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Sterling's Carter Jaeger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jaeger's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 140 rushing yards dating back to last season. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
Jaeger and Sterling will challenge Brush at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers had to take a loss when they last met the Beetdiggers, but Jaeger had little to do with the loss: he made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Rico Came Up Big in Brush's 47-12 Win
Eric Rico put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also threw for 113 yards and a touchdown on only eight passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging two interceptions both of which were returned for touchdowns.
Rico's next game is against Sterling on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The last time Rico took on the Tigers, he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 45.73
Jace Cornelius put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 95-yard run.
For the year, Cornelius has averaged 38.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after four games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.

Axton Haswell Puts an End to Brush's Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Axton Haswell, Brush said goodbye to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season. Haswell did his part (and then some), rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries for the 'W'. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
