Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Heritage Hills picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jett Goldsberry. Goldsberry showed up in a big way, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 53 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.8) per game. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Goldsberry might have his next game, a home matchup with Washington, circled on his calendar. Goldsberry threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hatchets duked it out back in October of 2023.

Washington Gets a Boost from Lesure in 35-18 Defeat
While Xavion Lesure delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Washington. Lesure was unstoppable, picking up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 70 yards.
For the year, Lesure has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 22.1 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 49.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 93.75 rushing yards.

Hunter Meredith's Big Game Leads Heritage Hills over Princeton
Heritage Hills picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Meredith. Nobody could stop Meredith as he rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 61 yards.
Meredith must have Princeton's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Meredith saw the Tigers), he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
Gamescore: 39.70
Grant Davis was a major factor in Boonville's victory over Washington on Friday. Davis was dynamite, rushing for 53 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Davis has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 59.25 rushing yards.
