1A/2A Mountain Foothills 7 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!
Brandon Pinkerton Delivers Electric Effort Vs Chase
Starting off the list is East Rutherford's Brandon Pinkerton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pinkerton rushed for 143 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last four games he's played.
Unfortunately for Chase, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pinkerton. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Pinkerton saw the Trojans), he rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 31 receiving yards.

Cj Jackson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Cj Jackson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading East Rutherford to the win on Friday. Jackson picked up 135 receiving yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 84 yards.
For the year, Jackson has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 43.7 receiving yards per game.
