Upper Chesapeake Bay - Chesapeake 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!
Jaxon Simms Turns in Season-Best Performance
C. Milton Wright was led to victory by Jaxon Simms, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Simms rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of C. Milton Wright's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The win was the third in a row for C. Milton Wright, bringing their record for this year to 3-3. Simms' next contest is against Joppatowne on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
