Rush-Esdaile Came Up Big in Barnegat's 22-21 Win
Starting off the list is Barnegat's Myquan Rush-Esdaile, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Rush-Esdaile rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Barnegat pushed their record up to 4-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Rush-Esdaile and Barnegat will venture away from home to take on New Egypt at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Lunn Made His Presence Known in Manchester Township's 42-12 Win
Aidan Lunn was a major factor in Manchester Township's victory over Lakewood on Saturday. Lakewood had no answer to Lunn as he threw for 128 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Manchester Township is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Lunn will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Point Pleasant Beach on Friday.
Gamescore: 26.33
Avery Phillips Makes It Two for Manchester Township

For the year, Phillips has averaged 25.5 receiving yards per game.
