1A District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chris Gordon and Co. Win 18th in a Row
Chris Gordon's big game helped extend Tatnall's winning streak to 18 on Friday. Gordon picked up 205 receiving yards and four touchdowns, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. Perhaps even more impressive was his lead-up to Friday's contest, in which he outscored his previous point total for three consecutive games.
Tatnall's win was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Gordon and Tatnall will venture away from home to square off against DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Juan Aldas Leads Wilmington Charter over St. Elizabeth
On Saturday, Wilmington Charter got the W thanks in part to Juan Aldas playing the best football he has all season. Aldas picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (3.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Aldas is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Delcastle Technical on Friday. When Aldas last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 15 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

Smith Came Up Big in Glasgow's 25-12 Loss
While Glasgow might've come up empty on Friday, Jamar Smith wasn't going down without a fight. Smith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 140 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 90-yard run.
Glasgow dropped their record down to 1-6 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. Smith and Glasgow will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on DuPont at 6:00 p.m. on October 25th.
