5A Front Range - North 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!
Jordan Rechel Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Fairview got the W thanks in part to Jordan Rechel playing the best football he has all season. Rechel rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 68 yards.
Fort Collins had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rechel it was a similar story. Rechel picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Lambkins duked it out back in October of 2023.
