<span style="font-weight: 400;">Here is a look at this week’s top performers:</span>
<strong>Shane Johnson | West Windsor-Plainsboro South </strong>

He completed 18 of 29 passes while throwing for five touchdown passes while helping West Windsor to a 50-47 victory over Lawrence.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Analysis:</strong> Johnson has the ability to move the pocket and does a good job with his reads and getting the ball to his playmakers in a hurry. He’s an accurate passer who allows his receivers to make plays in the open field. </span>
<strong>Bryan Johnson | Woodbury </strong>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Johnson completed 12 of 22 passes for 319 yards and four touchdowns in Woodbury’s 42-0 shutout victory over Holy Cross. He threw touchdown passes of 15 and 45 yards and two others later in the game.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Analysis:</strong> The southpaw stands tall in the pocket and has the arm strength to get the ball to his receivers in small windows. He shows above-average accuracy by putting the ball in spots where only his receivers can catch the ball. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Analysis:</strong> The 6-foot-3, 210-pound prospect is mobile for his size as he has the ability to move around the pocket. He always keeps his eyes downfield and displays an accurate arm with great touch. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Analysis:</strong> Kenney does a good job throwing the ball on the run as he’s often rolling out with a run-pass option. He does a good job squaring his shoulders and delivering the ball to his receivers. </span>
