Upper Chesapeake Bay - Chesapeake 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Stephen Kelley Ii Leads Harford Tech over Perry Hall
On Friday, Harford Tech got the W thanks in part to Stephen Kelley Ii playing the best football he has all season. Kelley Ii wasn't messing around, throwing for 355 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.1% of his passes. The contest was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Perry Hall, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kelley Ii. Kelley Ii threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Robinson was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 62 yards.
Edgewood's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Robinson will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Harford Tech on Friday.

Karon Evans Goes Supernova in Harford Tech Win
