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 Goes Supernova in Nazareth Area Victory
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 win was the third in a row for Nazareth Area, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Wimberly and Nazareth Area will be playing in front of their home fans against Northampton on Friday.

Dorian Thomas Turns in Season-Best Effort
Dorian Thomas produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Easton Area to the win on Friday. Thomas rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Thomas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Freedom on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Patriots back in October of 2023, he rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown.

Ordway Made His Presence Known in Easton Area's 49-20 Win
Cole Ordway was instrumental in extending Easton Area's winning streak to seven on Friday. Ordway was dynamite, throwing for 135 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushing for 94 yards on only ten carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This season, Ordway has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 139.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 48.95 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 108.09 passer rating.

Peyton Falzone Makes It Two for Nazareth Area
The second Nazareth Area player making an appearance here is Peyton Falzone, and for good reason. He threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes.
For the season, Falzone has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 178 passing yards per game.
