Jack Bradley Turns in Season-Best Performance
Archmere Academy was led to victory by Jack Bradley, who turned in his biggest game of the season 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 put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble, making two total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Archmere Academy pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Bradley and Archmere Academy will challenge Tower Hill at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

A Season-Best Performance from Isaiah Melton Leads Odessa over Wilmington Friends
On Thursday, Odessa had to settle for second even though Isaiah Melton put up the best numbers he has all season. Melton rushed for 110 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. He has become a key player for Odessa: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
For the year, Melton has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 rushing yards per game.

Amir Maddrey Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Amir Maddrey posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He made three total tackles and defended a pass. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 70 yards.
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).
