2A East Central 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!
Jamarae Lamb Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Sadly, Jamarae Lamb posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Wallace-Rose Hill over North Lenoir on Friday. Lamb rushed for 187 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.9). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Lamb might have his next game, a road matchup with Kinston, circled on his calendar. When Lamb last faced the Vikings back in October of 2023, he rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 41 receiving yards.
