Ariel Medina Makes It Two for Woonsocket
The second Woonsocket player making an appearance here is Ariel Medina, and for good reason. He rushed for 81 yards on only 11 carries, and also picked up 55 receiving yards. His longest reception was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
On the season, Medina has averaged 20.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.6 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 84.6 rushing yards.

Jordan Chaloux Makes It Two for South Kingstown
The second South Kingstown player making an appearance here is Jordan Chaloux, and for good reason. He rushed for 90 yards.
