6A District 1 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!
Jayzion Mcqueen Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Crestview got the W thanks in part to Jayzion Mcqueen playing the best football he has all season. Mcqueen rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 88 yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Crestview: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Crestview moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Mcqueen and Crestview will take on Escambia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Makael Williams Goes Supernova in Pace Win
Pace picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Makael Williams. Williams was dynamite, rushing for 162 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.
Pace's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Williams and Pace will play host again on Thursday to welcome Pine Forest, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.
Gamescore: 39.18
Navarre had to settle for second on Friday, but Andre Spence sure wasn't going down easily. Spence was dynamite, making nine total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 51 yards.
For the season, Spence has averaged 9.4 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 55 rushing yards.
