Jack Welch Delivers Best Effort of Season
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. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (137.4) per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Welch might have his next game, a road matchup with Chatham, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Welch saw the Panthers), he picked up 207 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Nick Jeckel Dazzles in Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton Victory
Another Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton player making an appearance on this list is Nick Jeckel. He rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Jeckel and Warrensburg/Lake George/Bolton will face off against Chatham at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Wolverines got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Panthers, probably because Jeckel had a solid game then too: he rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
