Yorktown's Jalen Thomas wins second East Central Indiana football Player of the Week

MUNCIE, Ind. — East Central Indiana has a breakout football player.

Yorktown running back Jalen Thomas won his second ECI football Player of the Week honor, the area's first repeat winner of the 2022 season after being the top vote-getter from Week 1.

Thomas is certainly deserving after his Week 4 performance, in which the junior was a force in his team's 35-21 win over rival Delta, totaling 224 offensive yards — 169 rushing a 55 receiving — and three TD's on 26 touches.

Now 100% recovered from a broken leg he suffered as a freshman, Thomas is thriving on the field.
