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 Goes Supernova 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.
Willis Jr might have his next game, a home matchup with Maiden, circled on his calendar. When Willis Jr last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he rushed for 332 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 59.60
West Lincoln found a leader in Jaylin Winnex as the squad took down Newton-Conover on Friday. Winnex turned in nothing short of a gem, making three total tackles. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
West Lincoln now has a winning record of 4-3. They and West Caldwell are set to duel on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.35
Raheim Misher was a major factor in Maiden's victory over Bandys on Friday. Misher did his part (and then some), picking up 83 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Maiden is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Misher and Maiden will welcome Bunker Hill at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
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 turned in nothing short of a gem, 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bost saw the Cavaliers), he rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
Gamescore: 37.40
