2A Foothills 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!
Brian Williams Delivers Best Performance of Season
Surry Central was led to victory by Brian Williams, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Williams picked up 169 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 68 yards.
Forbush had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Williams it was a similar story. When Williams last faced the Falcons back in October of 2023, he rushed for 64 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 37 receiving yards.

Stephen Keener Turns in Season-Best Effort

Jewell Posts Huge Game in 44-17 Victory
The second Surry Central player making an appearance here is Mason Jewell, and for good reason. He threw for 186 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 62 yards.

Gamescore: 37.90
Noah Felts Makes It Two for East Surry

A Season-Best Performance from Allen Huffman Leads Surry Central over Forbush
Surry Central was led to victory by Allen Huffman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Huffman rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Surry Central's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Huffman and Surry Central will square off against East Surry at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Huffman will face off against Troy Watson, the Cardinals' star running back. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
