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!
Stephen Kelley Ii Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Harford Tech got the W thanks in part to Stephen Kelley Ii playing the best football he has all season. Kelley Ii wasn't messing around, throwing for 355 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.1% of his passes. The game was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
Kelley Ii must have Perry Hall's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Kelley Ii threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.
