Week 2 Top Performers

Week 2 of the high school football season is in the books. Here’s a look at some of the top performers from this past weekend across Broward and Palm Beach counties: KYLE WALTERS (PLANTATION) This is not a typo: The junior back scored eight touchdowns in the past week. He had four in Friday night’s victory over Blanche Ely, and then four on Monday night in a game against West Broward that was postponed from Week 1. In the Colonels’ 33-0 victory over Ely, Walters rushed for 111 yards in the first half. ANDREW CHATFIELD (AMERICAN HERITAGE) Senior defensive end was a beast on the pass rush and in run defense, leading Patriots defense to a 31-0 shutout of Liberty (Nev.). Recovered a fumble and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown. VINCENT DAVIS (CARDINAL GIBBONS) The junior had three carries for 77 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 27-yard score in the team’s 44-0 win over American Heritage-Delray. JAYSON MOSCHELLA (CARDINAL NEWMAN) The senior quarterback dominated on the ground, rushing for 216 yards and four touchdowns on 34 carries in the Warriors’ 32-17 win over Jupiter DANIEL PARKER (NORTH BROWARD PREP) The junior running back went for 115 yards and two touchdowns in the ground in the 31-28 win over Benjamin. NICK VATTIATO (UNIVERSITY SCHOOL) Filling in for starter George Bubrick, the backup QB threw for five touchdowns in the 35-20 win over Archbishop McCarthy. TYLER JONES (AMERICAN HERITAGE) Running back Jordan Johnson was already out and Miles Jones left in the first quarter, so the junior stepped in for 142 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown.

THAD FRANKLIN (CHAMINADE-MADONNA) While well-known stars Shaun Shivers and Xavier Williams impacted the 14-13 victory over Miramar by playing defense, the freshman QB came in and scored two touchdowns.
