Section 2 D 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!
Jack Welch Turns in Season-Best Effort
Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton was led to victory by Jack Welch, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Welch rushed for 335 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (137.4). Those 335 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
If history really does repeat itself, Welch might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chatham on Friday. When Welch last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he picked up 207 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Nick Jeckel Goes Supernova in Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton Win
Keeping Welch company is Nick Jeckel, a fellow Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton player. He rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Jeckel and Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton will square off against Chatham at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. The last time Jeckel took on the Panthers, he rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Underclassman Jackson Rowland Major Player in Cambridge/Salem Victory
While Saturday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Jackson Rowland. He did his part (and then some), rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown on only five carries for the 'W'.
Cambridge/Salem's victory was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1. Rowland will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Stillwater on Saturday.
