MAIS 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!
Kenzy West Turns in Season-Best Effort
Hartfield Academy came up short on Friday despite Kenzy West delivering his best game to date. West picked up 186 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in two rushing scores. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending four passes.
Hartfield Academy's defeat ended an 11-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 7-2. West's next contest is against St. Joseph Catholic on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Cayman Tapper's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Hartfield Academy over Jackson Prep
Cayman Tapper put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 439 yards and four touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Hartfield Academy's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Tapper and Hartfield Academy will host St. Joseph Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Tapper took on the Bruins, he threw for 148 yards and four touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Tre Bryant and Co. Win Ninth in a Row
Tre Bryant's big game helped extend Jackson Prep's winning streak to nine on Friday. Nobody could stop Bryant as he rushed for 11 yards and two touchdowns.
Jackson Prep's victory was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Bryant and Jackson Prep will challenge Madison-Ridgeland Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 34.10
Big Game from Puckett As Jackson Prep Won 51-45
Billy Puckett's big game helped extend Jackson Prep's winning streak to nine on Friday. Puckett turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 57 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 201 yards and a touchdown.
Puckett is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Madison-Ridgeland Academy on Friday. When Puckett last faced Madison-Ridgeland Academy back in November of 2023, he rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 117 yards on 14 of 21 attempts.
