Braiden Russell

Congratulations to Braiden Russell on being named NJ.com’s Player of the Week! Braiden rose to the occasion during the high-stakes NJSIAA North 1 Group 1 sectional semifinal, pitching six strong innings to keep Midland Park in the game. With the pressure on, he came through at the plate as well, delivering the game-winning hit in the bottom of the sixth—a clutch line drive down the left-field line that secured the victory. His outstanding performance under pressure highlights his skill, composure, and leadership on the field. Way to go, Braiden!
