Ullom Posts Huge Game in 45-0 Win
Starting off the list is Monroe Central's Jerimiah Ullom, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ullom rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up three sacks and making six total tackles.
Ullom must have Irvington Preparatory Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Ullom picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the duked it out back in October of 2023.
