4A Region 3 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!
Owen Mclaughlin's Big Game Leads Southside over Cave City
Starting off the list is Southside's Owen McLaughlin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. McLaughlin rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. McLaughlin is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 113 every time he's taken the field this season.
The win was the fifth in a row for Southside, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. McLaughlin and Southside will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Highland at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Highland Gets a Boost from Statler in 46-16 Victory
Highland picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Keagan Statler. Statler was unstoppable, rushing for 50 yards and three touchdowns, while also picking up 53 receiving yards.
Unfortunately for Trumann, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Statler. Statler rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in September of 2023.

Jimmy Jensen Makes It Two for Highland
