Virginia Football I (8 Man) 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!
Jonathan Newton's Big Game Leads the Covenant over Rappahannock County
Jonathan Newton was instrumental in extending The Covenant's winning streak to six on Friday. Rappahannock County had no answer to Newton as he rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 46 yards and a touchdown. Newton also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Newton is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Greenbrier Christian Academy on Saturday. Newton rushed for 433 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 19.7 yards per carry the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Another Game with at Least 115 Rushing Yards from DJ Caban
DJ Caban's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 115+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended two passes.
Caban must have Chincoteague's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Caban rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Ponies duked it out back in September of 2023.
