5A Front Range - North 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 Jordan Rechel Leads Fairview over Fort Collins
Fairview was led to victory by Jordan Rechel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Rechel rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 68 yards.
Fort Collins's probably not too fond of Rechel given he always seems to get the better of them. Rechel picked up 153 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Lambkins duked it out back in October of 2023.

Toray Davis and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Toray Davis was instrumental in extending Fairview's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Davis was unstoppable, making five total tackles. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 57 yards.
For the year, Davis has averaged 3.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to seven.

Jack Mckeon Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, Fort Collins had to settle for second even though Jack Mckeon put up the best numbers he has all season. Mckeon rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns.
On the year, Mckeon has averaged 17.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.
