Eastern Pennsylvania - South 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!
Marquez Wimberly Delivers Electric Effort Vs Bethlehem Catholic
Starting off the list is Nazareth Area's Marquez Wimberly, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wimberly rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was Nazareth Area's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Wimberly and Nazareth Area will welcome Northampton on Friday.

Dorian Thomas Delivers Best Effort of Season
Easton Area was led to victory by Dorian Thomas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thomas rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Thomas is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Freedom on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Patriots back in October of 2023, he rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Ordway As Easton Area Won 49-20
Cole Ordway's big game helped extend Easton Area's winning streak to seven on Friday. Ordway did his part (and then some), throwing for 135 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushing for 94 yards on only ten carries for the 'W'. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
For the season, Ordway has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 139.8 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 48.95 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 108.09 passer rating.
