MAIS 8-Man 1A District 2 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Dylan Buckner Leads Claiborne Academy over Prairie View Academy
Sadly, Dylan Buckner posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Claiborne Academy over Prairie View Academy on Friday. Buckner rushed for 196 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Claiborne Academy's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Claiborne Academy's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 6-2. Buckner and Claiborne Academy will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Tallulah Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Hayden Smith and Co. Win Fifth in a Row

This season, Smith has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 69.6 receiving yards per game.

Briarfield Academy Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Ryder Jones
Briarfield Academy picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ryder Jones. Nobody could stop Jones as he rushed for nine yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Jones has averaged 27.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.

Kyler Monk Makes It Two for Claiborne Academy
Another Claiborne Academy player making an appearance on this list is Kyler Monk. He rushed for 80 yards. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 64 yards.
