Suburban One - American Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Everett Baker Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Plymouth Whitemarsh's Everett Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker rushed for 182 yards and four touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Unfortunately for Wissahickon, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Baker. When Baker last faced the Trojans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries.

Nolan Pounds Delivers Best Performance of Season
Wissahickon came up short on Saturday despite Nolan Pounds delivering his best game to date. Pounds threw for 294 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt. He is becoming a predictor of Wissahickon's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Pounds has thrown 16 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 196 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 73.04 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 125.34 passer rating.

Quentin "Q" West Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Saturday, Wissahickon had to settle for second even though Quentin "Q" West put up the best numbers he has all season. West picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Wissahickon is 3-1 when West posts 80 or more receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the year, West has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 60 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.

Big Game from Diciurcio As Plymouth Whitemarsh Won 37-34
The second Plymouth Whitemarsh player making an appearance here is Christian Diciurcio, and for good reason. He rushed for 123 yards on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This year, Diciurcio has averaged 58.6 rushing yards per game.
