6A Region 7 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Trey Greenwell Drops League-Best Effort on Thursday
Starting off the list is Decatur's Trey Greenwell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Greenwell made nine total tackles and defended a pass. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 75 yards.
For the year, Greenwell has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Gross Came Up Big in Athens' 21-19 Defeat
Athens had to settle for second on Friday, but Brogan Gross sure wasn't going down easily. Gross was dynamite, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 44 yards.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Golden Eagles dukes it out withColumbia at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Golden Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Gross had a solid game then too: he threw for 154 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 10-for-10 passing. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Endymion Tyus Makes It Two for Athens
Keeping Gross company is Endymion Tyus, a fellow Athens player. He picked up 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended a pass.
For the year, Tyus has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 receiving yards per game.
