Lorain County 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!
Wyatt Mckee Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Keystone's Wyatt Mckee, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mckee made 11 total tackles.
Firelands's probably not too fond of Mckee given he always seems to get the better of them. Mckee made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 43.10
Shackelford Posts Huge Game in 33-18 Victory
Keeping Mckee company is Zach Shackelford, a fellow Keystone player. He rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 48 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Shackelford has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 113.3 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 42.40
Gage Maruna Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Gage Maruna posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The victory was the third in a row for Columbia, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Maruna and Columbia are taking a road trip to square off against Brookside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 38.65
While Josiah Longo delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Clearview. Longo was dynamite, rushing for 95 yards on only eight carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles.
Clearview's loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo and Clearview will take on Black River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 32.92
Jimmy Stofey Makes It Two for Columbia
The second Columbia player making an appearance here is Jimmy Stofey, and for good reason. He rushed for 79 yards on only ten carries.
This year, Stofey has averaged 74.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14 rushing yards per game.
