Suburban One - American Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Everett Baker Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Plymouth Whitemarsh's Everett Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker rushed for 182 yards and four touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. Those 182 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Baker must have Wissahickon's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Baker rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

Nolan Pounds Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Nolan Pounds posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Wissahickon over Plymouth Whitemarsh on Saturday. Pounds threw for 294 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt. He is becoming a predictor of Wissahickon's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Pounds has thrown 16 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 196 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 73.04 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 125.34 passer rating.

Quentin "Q" West Delivers Best Effort of Season
Wissahickon came up short on Saturday despite Quentin "Q" West delivering his best game to date. West picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He has become a key player for Wissahickon: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the season, West has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 60 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.
