4A North 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Gavin Ishmael Leads Frederick over Loveland
Gavin Ishmael produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Frederick to the win on Friday. Ishmael rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.0 yards per attempt. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023.
Ishmael might have his next game, a home matchup with Silver Creek, circled on his calendar. When Ishmael last faced the Raptors back in September of 2023, he threw for 358 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.6 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Gaccetta Made His Presence Known in Silver Creek's 42-8 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Nolan Gaccetta stepped things up a notch to give Silver Creek the 'W'. Gaccetta was dynamite, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 125 yards on 11 of 19 attempts.
Silver Creek has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Gaccetta and Silver Creek will challenge Frederick at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Sonny Delpizzo's Big Game Leads Frederick over Loveland
The second Frederick player making an appearance here is Sonny Delpizzo, and for good reason. He picked up 95 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 85 yards.
Delpizzo and Frederick will host Silver Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Golden Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Raptors, probably because Delpizzo had a solid game then too: he picked up 104 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

On the season, Majka has averaged 3.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions.
