Jacob Monroe's Big Game Leads New Hanover over Laney
Starting off the list is New Hanover's Jacob Monroe, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Monroe rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the year, Monroe has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 230.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 16.43 rushing yards.

Jonah Campbell produced his most outstanding game to date while leading North Brunswick to the win on Friday.
