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!
Jonathan Newton's Big Game Leads the Covenant over Rappahannock County
Jonathan Newton's big game helped extend The Covenant's winning streak to six on Friday. Newton did his part (and then some), rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also throwing for 46 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Newton must have Rappahannock County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Newton rushed for 283 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.
