Lorain County 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!
Wyatt Mckee Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Keystone's Wyatt Mckee, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mckee made 11 total tackles.
Mckee must have Firelands's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Mckee made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.

Zach Shackelford Delivers Electric Performance Vs Firelands
Keystone picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Zach Shackelford. Nobody could stop Shackelford as he rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 48 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Shackelford has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 113.3 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 42.40
Maruna Posts Huge Game in 22-18 Victory
Gage Maruna posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The win (which was Columbia's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Maruna and Columbia will head out to challenge Brookside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 38.65
While Clearview might've come up empty on Friday, Josiah Longo wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Longo was still balling out as he rushed for 95 yards on only eight carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles.
Clearview's loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Black River on Friday.
Gamescore: 32.92
Jimmy Stofey Makes It Two for Columbia
Another Columbia player making an appearance on this list is Jimmy Stofey. He rushed for 79 yards on only ten carries.
For the year, Stofey has averaged 74.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14 rushing yards per game.
