Big Central - American Silver Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Felix Matos Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Phillipsburg's Felix Matos, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Matos made three total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 92-yard run.
Phillipsburg pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Matos and Phillipsburg will face off against Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jackson Jankowicz Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Hillsborough got the W thanks in part to Jackson Jankowicz playing the best football he has all season. Jankowicz rushed for 169 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 52 yards.
Bridgewater-Raritan's probably not too fond of Jankowicz given he always seems to get the better of them. When Jankowicz last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.

Big Game from Genovese As Phillipsburg Won 49-14
The second Phillipsburg player making an appearance here is Jett Genovese, and for good reason. He rushed for 83 yards on only six carries, and also threw for 111 yards while completing 75% of his passes. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 77 yards.
This season, Genovese has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 133.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 24.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 54.17 rushing yards.
