Sanchez showcased his run-after-catch ability, using his 6'1” frame to be physical, break tackles, and fight his way into the end zone. While he made several vital catches throughout the game, his contributions during that pivotal moment helped swing Woodbridge's momentum.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700"></p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Aiden Jones stood out for Woodbridge as an outside linebacker and edge rusher, making key plays in critical moments.
