3A Region 2 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!

Kadyn Mitchell Goes Supernova in Houston Academy Win

Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.

Mitchell might have his next game, a home matchup with Northside Methodist Academy, circled on his calendar. Mitchell threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Gamescore: 43.60

Montgomery Academy Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Reid Mcbride

Reid Mcbride was instrumental in extending Montgomery Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Mcbride was dynamite, throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last five times he's played.

This season, Mcbride has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 216.5 passing yards per game.

Gamescore: 32.27

Vinson Made His Presence Known in Montgomery Academy's 50-12 Win

Keeping Mcbride company is D.J. Vinson, a fellow Montgomery Academy player. He picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Slocomb's probably not too fond of Vinson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Vinson last faced the Red Tops back in October of 2023, he picked up 234 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Gamescore: 29.42

Gabe Glover Dazzles in Houston Academy Victory

Another Houston Academy player making an appearance on this list is Gabe Glover. He picked up 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 54 yards.

For the year, Glover has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 88.6 receiving yards per game.

Gamescore: 22.27
