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 Tops All Others This Week
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 square off against Brush at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Jaeger took on the Beetdiggers, he made 14 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Brush Gets a Boost from Rico in 47-12 Victory
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 and Brush will welcome Sterling at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Beetdiggers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Tigers, probably because Rico had a solid game then too: 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. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 95 yards.
For the season, 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
Brush's five-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Axton Haswell. Haswell was unstoppable on Friday, rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
