1A District 1 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!
Tatnall Wins 18th-Straight Thanks to Chris Gordon
Chris Gordon was instrumental in extending Tatnall's winning streak to 18 on Friday. Gordon picked up 205 receiving yards and four touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Perhaps even more impressive was his lead-up to Friday's matchup, in which he outscored his previous point total for three consecutive games.
Tatnall pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Gordon will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on DuPont on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Juan Aldas Leads Wilmington Charter over St. Elizabeth
On Saturday, Wilmington Charter got the W thanks in part to Juan Aldas playing the best football he has all season. Aldas picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Aldas is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Delcastle Technical on Friday. Aldas picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss) the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.

Smith Posts Huge Game in 25-12 Defeat
While Jamar Smith delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Glasgow. Smith was dynamite, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 90 yards.
Glasgow's defeat was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-6. Smith and Glasgow will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
