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!
Shawn Blackburn Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is West Lincoln's Shawn Blackburn, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Blackburn made eight total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also rushed for 129 rushing yards, which is notable because West Lincoln is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 3-4 otherwise.
On the season, Blackburn has averaged 6.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.64 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 40.36 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 53.23
Jason Willis Jr's Big Game Leads Bunker Hill over Hendersonville
Jason Willis Jr was instrumental in extending Bunker Hill's winning streak to four on Friday. Willis Jr was unstoppable, picking up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making two total tackles.
Bunker Hill pushed their record up to 9-2 with the win, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season. Willis Jr will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Brevard on Friday.
Gamescore: 47.50
Jayce Rowe Has Career-Day on Friday
Jayce Rowe posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made a tackle and defended a pass. He also rushed for 140 rushing yards, which is notable because West Lincoln is 4-2 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 2-3 otherwise.
Gamescore: 42.45
Underclassman Jalaythan ?JJ? Mayfield Comes Up Big Against Maiden
Underclassman Jalaythan ?JJ? Mayfield came into Friday's match looking to prove himself and that's exactly what he did. Nobody could stop he on Friday as he picked up two sacks and made 15 total tackles.
Maiden had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Mayfield it was a similar story. Back in October (the last time Mayfield saw the Blue Devils), he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Treylen Bost Goes Supernova in Lincolnton Defeat
Another Lincolnton player making an appearance on this list is Treylen Bost. He rushed for 184 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 105 rushing yards.
This year, Bost has averaged 14.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he was only averaging 26.82 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 133.45 rushing yards.
