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!
Jaxon Simms Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Thursday, C. Milton Wright got the W thanks in part to Jaxon Simms playing the best football he has all season. Simms rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of C. Milton Wright's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The victory was the third in a row for C. Milton Wright, bringing their record for this year to 3-3. Simms will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Joppatowne on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Karon Evans Leads Harford Tech over Rising Sun
On Friday, Harford Tech got the W thanks in part to Karon Evans playing the best football he has all season. Evans picked up 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Evans could be in store for another big game when he takes on Perry Hall on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Evans saw the Gators), he picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 36.25
Stephen Kelley Ii Dazzles in Harford Tech Win
Keeping Evans company is Stephen Kelley Ii, a fellow Harford Tech player. He threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per attempt.
Kelley Ii might have his next game, a road matchup with Perry Hall, circled on his calendar. 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.

Big Game from Frank As C. Milton Wright Won 21-14
The second C. Milton Wright player making an appearance here is Anthony Frank, and for good reason. He rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
For the year, Frank has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 63.2 rushing yards per game.
