2A Catawba Valley Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jason Willis Jr Goes Supernova in Bunker Hill Win
Starting off the list is Bunker Hill's Jason Willis Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Willis Jr rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Willis Jr could be in store for another big game when he takes on Maiden on Friday. Willis Jr rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry the last time he and the Blue Devils duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 59.60
West Lincoln found a leader in Jaylin Winnex as the squad took down Newton-Conover on Friday. Winnex turned in nothing short of a gem, making three total tackles. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
West Lincoln now has a winning record of 4-3. They and West Caldwell are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.35
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Raheim Misher stepped things up a notch to give Maiden the 'W'. Bandys had no answer to Misher as he picked up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Maiden is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Misher and Maiden will be playing in front of their home fans against Bunker Hill at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 38.13
Big Game from Bost As Lincolnton Won 63-6
Treylen Bost was instrumental in extending Lincolnton's winning streak to three on Friday. Bost was unstoppable, rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Bost is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against East Burke on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bost saw the Cavaliers), he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
Gamescore: 37.40

For the season, Roberts has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 85.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.
