2A League 7 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Carter Jaeger Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Sterling's Carter Jaeger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Jaeger made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. We marked that as the best he's had all season, even better than his performance last Friday.
The win (which was Sterling's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Jaeger and Sterling will face off against Arvada at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Marcello Rossi Goes Supernova in Weld Central Win
Marcello Rossi's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 126+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Arvada's probably not too fond of Rossi given he always seems to get the better of them. When Rossi last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 66 receiving yards.

Jacob Arzberger Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jacob Arzberger produced his most outstanding game to date while leading The Academy to the win on Saturday. Arzberger rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
The win got The Academy back to even at 3-3. Arzberger's next matchup is against Weld Central on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

On the season, Cornelius has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 56.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.
