West Jersey - American 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!
Robbie O'connor Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Millville got the W thanks in part to Robbie O'Connor playing the best football he has all season. O'Connor threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Millville pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. O'Connor will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against St. Augustine Prep on Friday.

Jalen Parker Dazzles in Winslow Township Victory
Jalen Parker's big game helped extend Winslow Township's winning streak to eight on Friday. Mainland Regional had no answer to Parker as he threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per attempt. Parker is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Parker and Winslow Township will be playing in front of their home fans against Cherokee at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Chiefs, but Parker had little to do with the loss: he threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
