2A Northern 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!
Tommy Williams Dazzles in Incline Victory
Starting off the list is Incline's Tommy Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams threw for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, and also rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Williams must have Coral Academy of Science - Reno's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Williams last faced the Falcons back in September of 2023, he rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 96 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 38.67
West Wendover found a leader in Aidien Rodriquez as the squad took down Yerington on Friday. Nobody could stop Rodriquez as he picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 50 yards.
West Wendover now has a winning record of 3-2. Rodriquez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Silver Stage on Saturday.
