Eastern Pennsylvania - South 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!
Marquez Wimberly Dazzles in Nazareth Area Win
Starting off the list is Nazareth Area's Marquez Wimberly, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wimberly rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win was the third in a row for Nazareth Area, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Wimberly and Nazareth Area will be playing at home against Northampton on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Dorian Thomas Leads Easton Area over Liberty
On Friday, Easton Area got the W thanks in part to Dorian Thomas playing the best football he has all season. Thomas rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Thomas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Freedom on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Patriots back in October of 2023, he rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown.

Ordway Made His Presence Known in Easton Area's 49-20 Victory
Easton Area picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cole Ordway. Ordway turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 135 yards and two touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushing for 94 yards on only ten carries. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
For the season, Ordway has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 139.8 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 48.95 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 108.09 passer rating.
