6A-I District 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Tayveon Parry Leads Union over Yukon
Union was led to victory by Tayveon Parry, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Parry rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Parry has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 14.57 rushing yards per game.

Jordan Schelling Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Union got the W thanks in part to Jordan Schelling playing the best football he has all season. Schelling rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 89-yard run.
Schelling and Union will welcome Broken Arrow at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Redhawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Tigers, probably because Schelling had a solid game then too: he picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 46 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Jeramiah Ssettimba Goes Supernova in Broken Arrow Defeat
Jeramiah Ssettimba posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 231 yards and a touchdown.
Ssettimba and Broken Arrow will take on Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Ssettimba up against the Redhawks' star QB Shaker Reisig. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
