2A Catawba Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Richard ?RJ? Lynch Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Lincolnton's Richard ?RJ? Lynch, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Lynch made three total tackles and defended two passes, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 83 yards.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Lincolnton, bringing their record for this year to 4-4. Lynch and Lincolnton will challenge Maiden at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Tanner Stewart Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Bandys was led to victory by Tanner Stewart, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stewart rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (105.3) per game. Those 166 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Bandys pushed their record up to 5-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. They and West Caldwell are set to duel on Friday.

Treylen Bost's Big Game Leads Lincolnton over East Burke
The second Lincolnton player making an appearance here is Treylen Bost, and for good reason. He rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
East Burke's probably not too fond of Bost given he always seems to get the better of them. Bost rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries the last time he and the Cavaliers duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 36.60
Josh Stover Turns in Season-Best Effort
Maiden was led to victory by Josh Stover, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stover picked up 149 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a rushing score. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 53 yards.
If the past is any indication, Stover could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lincolnton on Friday. When Stover last faced the Wolves back in October of 2023, he rushed for 185 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 73 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 33.83
A Season-Best Performance from Jay Maxwell Leads West Caldwell over West Lincoln
West Caldwell came up short on Friday despite Jay Maxwell delivering his best game to date. Maxwell picked up 110 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
West Caldwell is on a 17-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. They and Bandys are set to duel on Friday.
