2A League 7 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!
Carter Jaeger Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Sterling's Carter Jaeger, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Jaeger made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. We marked that as the best he's had all season, even better than his effort last Friday.
The victory (which was Sterling's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Jaeger and Sterling will square off against Arvada at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Marcello Rossi Dazzles in Weld Central Victory
Marcello Rossi continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 126 rushing yards. He rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Arvada had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rossi it was a similar story. Rossi rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 66 receiving yards the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jacob Arzberger Turns in Season-Best Effort
The Academy was led to victory by Jacob Arzberger, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Arzberger rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 78-yard run.
The win got The Academy back to even at 3-3. Arzberger's next match is against Weld Central on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Jace Cornelius Makes It Two for Weld Central
The second Weld Central player making an appearance here is Jace Cornelius, and for good reason. He threw for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Cornelius has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 56.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.
