2A Catawba Valley 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!
Jason Willis Jr Dazzles in Bunker Hill Victory
Starting off the list is Bunker Hill's Jason Willis Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Willis Jr rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 53 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Willis Jr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Maiden on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Willis Jr saw the Blue Devils), he rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 59.60
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jaylin Winnex stepped things up a notch to give West Lincoln the 'W'. Newton-Conover had no answer to Winnex as he made three total tackles. Winnex's longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
West Lincoln now has a winning record of 4-3. They and West Caldwell are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.35
Maiden found a leader in Raheim Misher as the squad took down Bandys on Friday. Bandys had no answer to Misher as he picked up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Maiden has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Misher's next game is against Bunker Hill on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 38.13
Bost Came Up Big in Lincolnton's 63-6 Victory
Treylen Bost's big game helped extend Lincolnton's winning streak to three on Friday. Bost was dynamite, rushing for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Bost could be in store for another big game when he takes on East Burke on Friday. Bost rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries the last time he and the Cavaliers duked it out back in October of 2023.
