2A League 7 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Carter Jaeger Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Sterling's Carter Jaeger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jaeger's rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 140 rushing yards. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
The victory (which was Sterling's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Jaeger and Sterling will be playing at home against Fort Lupton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defended a pass.
Fort Lupton is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Gonzales and Fort Lupton will head out to challenge Sterling at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
