2A Southern 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!
Rowdy Lloyd Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Lincoln County got the W thanks in part to Rowdy Lloyd playing the best football he has all season. Lloyd rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 30 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 64 yards.
On the year, Lloyd has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 122.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.
