West Jersey - United 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Mekhi Simmons Leads Bishop Eustace Prep over Wildwood
On Friday, Bishop Eustace Prep got the W thanks in part to Mekhi Simmons playing the best football he has all season. Simmons rushed for 216 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August. His longest rush was for an incredible 78 yards.
Wildwood's probably not too fond of Simmons given he always seems to get the better of them. When Simmons last faced the Warriors back in September of 2023, he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown.

The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023.

KIPP Cooper Norcross was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jykhai Boyd did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Boyd was still balling out as he picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles.
Boyd and KIPP Cooper Norcross will square off against Bishop Eustace Prep at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Boyd will face off against Delano Mann, the Crusaders' star wideout. 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.
