4A North 2 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!
Isaiah Medina Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Riverdale Ridge got the W thanks in part to Isaiah Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Medina could be in store for another big game when he takes on Adams City on Thursday. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Medina saw the Eagles), he threw for 217 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
