2A District 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jack Bradley Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jack Bradley produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Archmere Academy to the win on Thursday. Bradley rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble, making two total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Archmere Academy's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Bradley and Archmere Academy will take on Tower Hill at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Isaiah Melton Delivers Best Performance of Season
Odessa came up short on Thursday despite Isaiah Melton delivering his best game to date. Melton rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. Odessa is 2-1 when Melton posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the year, Melton has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.70
Amir Maddrey Has Career-Day on Thursday
Amir Maddrey posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He made three total tackles and defended a pass. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Newark's probably not too fond of Maddrey given he always seems to get the better of them. When Maddrey last faced the Yellowjackets back in October of 2023, he made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
