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 Effort 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 rated that as his best effort of the season, edging out his previous best set last Friday.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Sterling, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Jaeger and Sterling will challenge Arvada at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Marcello Rossi Goes Supernova in Weld Central Win
Marcello Rossi's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 126+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Rossi must have Arvada's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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 Performance of Season
The Academy was led to victory by Jacob Arzberger, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. 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 win got The Academy back to even at 3-3. Arzberger's next match is against Weld Central on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

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 year, Cornelius has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 56.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.
