Central Connecticut - Tier 2 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!
Burke Posts Huge Game in 44-21 Victory
Starting off the list is South Windsor's Ethan Burke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burke rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of South Windsor's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-6 when he doesn't).
For the year, Burke has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 24.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to 14.

Jake Pflederer Delivers Electric Performance Vs Enfield
Another South Windsor player making an appearance on this list is Jake Pflederer. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 128 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
This season, Pflederer has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 30.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 6.1 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 64.9 rushing yards.

John Manning and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Windsor picked up their tenth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to John Manning. Nobody could stop Manning as he rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played.
Windsor pushed their record up to 10-0 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Manning and Windsor will venture away from home to face off against Hand at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
