Section 2 D 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!
Jack Welch Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jack Welch produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton to the win on Friday. Welch rushed for 335 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (137.4) per game. Those 335 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If history really does repeat itself, Welch might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chatham on Friday. Welch picked up 207 receiving yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.

Nick Jeckel Goes Supernova in Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton Victory
Keeping Welch company is Nick Jeckel, a fellow Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton player. He rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Jeckel and Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton will face off against Chatham at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Wolverines got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Panthers, probably because Jeckel had a solid game then too: he rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Underclassman Jackson Rowland Comes Up Big Against Rensselaer/Loudonville Christian
While it always takes a team to win, one person punching above their weight class on Saturday was Jackson Rowland. He was dynamite, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
Cambridge/Salem pushed their record up to 4-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Rowland's next contest is against Stillwater on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
