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!
Jaxon Simms Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, C. Milton Wright got the W thanks in part to Jaxon Simms playing the best football he has all season. Simms rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for C. Milton Wright: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The victory was the third in a row for C. Milton Wright, bringing their record for this year to 3-3. Simms and C. Milton Wright will be playing at home against Joppatowne at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Karon Evans Delivers Best Effort of Season
Harford Tech was led to victory by Karon Evans, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Evans picked up 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Evans is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Perry Hall on Friday. When Evans last faced the Gators back in October of 2023, he picked up 135 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 36.25
Kelley Ii Posts Huge Game in 42-0 Win
Keeping Evans company is Stephen Kelley Ii, a fellow Harford Tech player. He threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per attempt.
If history really does repeat itself, Kelley Ii might just drop another big game when he faces off against Perry Hall on Friday. When Kelley Ii last faced the Gators back in October of 2023, he threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt.
Gamescore: 33.03
Anthony Frank Makes It Two for C. Milton Wright
The second C. Milton Wright player making an appearance here is Anthony Frank, and for good reason. He rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
On the season, Frank has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 63.2 rushing yards per game.
