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 Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
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 take on Arvada at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Marcello Rossi Goes Supernova in Weld Central Victory
Marcello Rossi continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 126 rushing yards. 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. Rossi rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 66 receiving yards the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jacob Arzberger Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Saturday, The Academy got the W thanks in part to Jacob Arzberger playing the best football he has all season. 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 victory got The Academy back to even at 3-3. Arzberger and The Academy will head out on the road to take on Weld Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jace Cornelius Makes It Two for Weld Central
Another Weld Central player making an appearance on this list is Jace Cornelius. He threw for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown.
For 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.
