Eastern Connecticut I 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!
Porter Carter Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Fitch's Porter Carter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Carter rushed for 181 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory got Fitch back to even at 2-2. Carter and Fitch will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Norwich Free Academy at 6:30 p.m. on October 17th.
