Shore - C South Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rush-Esdaile Made His Presence Known 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 will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against New Egypt on Friday.

Lunn Came Up Big in Manchester Township's 42-12 Victory
Manchester Township found a leader in Aidan Lunn as the team took down Lakewood on Saturday. Nobody could stop 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 contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Lunn and Manchester Township will venture away from home to challenge Point Pleasant Beach at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
