Fairfield County - West 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!
Jake Okeefe Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Danbury's Jake OKeefe, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. OKeefe threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes.
This season, OKeefe has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 127.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 32.83 rushing yards.

Greenwich's victory was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Lopez will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against St. Joseph on Friday.
