Suburban One - American 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!
Everett Baker Dazzles in Plymouth Whitemarsh Win
Starting off the list is Plymouth Whitemarsh's Everett Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns.
Baker must have Upper Moreland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Baker picked up 65 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Bears duked it out back in October of 2023.
