Big Game from Gruber As Sussex County Tech Fell 21-14
Starting off the list is Sussex County Tech's Brian Gruber, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gruber rushed for 162 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 88 yards.
If the past is any indication, Gruber could be in store for another big game when he takes on High Point on Saturday. When Gruber last faced High Point back in September of 2023, he rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns.
