The West Jersey Football League’s girls flag football season is in full motion, with the majority of teams having played their second game.
Here are some of the top performers in the WJFL girls flag football league across the four divisions for the week of April 15-19.
NATIONAL DIVISION:
Mia Mendez-Evans, Absegami
The Junior QB threw for two touchdowns through the air and added a touchdown run in the Braves’ 36-7 season-opening victory over Millville.
Armani Mejia, Middle Township
The senior dual-threat QB recorded the Panthers’ two touchdowns in their close loss to Cedar Creek. She threw a 70-yard touchdown pass while running another in at the same length.
AMERICAN DIVISION:
Ashlyn Silvesti, Hammonton
The rookie (freshman) defensive stout shined with two interceptions returned for touchdowns in the Blue Devils 21-12 victory over Pleasantville.
Journey Green, Egg Harbor Township
The versatile junior led the Eagles’ rushing attack in a statement win over Mainland last Thursday. She had six carries for 65 yards and a touchdown, including a 41-yard rush in the effort. Egg Harbor Township is now 2-1 with division victories over Ocean City and Mainland.
LIBERTY DIVISION:
Arianna Clark, Mastery Charter Camden
The sophomore receiver has been on a tear with 13 receptions for 285 yards and seven touchdowns through the Warriors’ first three games. Thursday’s Liberty division victory over New Egypt was no different as she recorded a WJFL single-game season-high three touchdowns in the 27-6 triumph.
Lillie Alston, Ewing
The sophomore had two touchdowns on two receptions for 66 yards, while carrying the ball two times for 23 yards and a score in the Blue Devil’s 25-0 victory over KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy on Thursday.
Ava Valante, Kingsway
The Dragons made a statement in a road demolition of previously unbeaten Egg Harbor Township on Friday night. Junior QB Ava Valante threw with precision throughout the entirety of the game, completing 8-of-11 passes for three touchdowns in the 36-0 feat.
Samantha Vilord, Washington Township
The senior had a touchdown and an interception in the Minutemaids’ 28-0 victory over Cherry Hill West on Wednesday.
