2A Catawba Valley 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!
Jason Willis Jr Dazzles in Bunker Hill Victory
Starting off the list is Bunker Hill's Jason Willis Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Willis Jr rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Willis Jr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Maiden on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Willis Jr saw the Blue Devils), he rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 59.60
Jaylin Winnex was a major factor in West Lincoln's win over Newton-Conover on Friday. Winnex did his part (and then some), making three total tackles for the 'W'. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
West Lincoln now has a winning record of 4-3. They and West Caldwell are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.35
Maiden found a leader in Raheim Misher as the team took down Bandys on Friday. Misher did his part (and then some), picking up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Maiden is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Misher and Maiden will look to defend their home field on Friday against Bunker Hill at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 38.13
Big Game from Bost As Lincolnton Won 63-6
Lincolnton picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Treylen Bost. Nobody could stop Bost as he rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Bost is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against East Burke on Friday. Bost rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries the last time he and the Cavaliers duked it out back in October of 2023.
