AAAAA Region 7 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!
Chalmers Ballard Goes Supernova in Lucy Beckham Victory
Starting off the list is Lucy Beckham's Chalmers Ballard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ballard rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 196 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes. Those 130 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
For the year, Ballard has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 155.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 5.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 71.33 rushing yards.

Loren Whitehurst Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Loren Whitehurst posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Wando over Goose Creek on Friday. Whitehurst wasn't messing around, picking up four sacks, forcing a fumble, and making seven total tackles (6.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the year, Whitehurst has averaged 5.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 8.5 sacks.

Jachin Davis Dazzles in Stratford Loss
While Jachin Davis delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Stratford. Berkeley had no answer to Davis as he rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 145 yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Davis has thrown 9 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 169.3 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 33.37
Rivers Posts Huge Game in 30-22 Victory
Berkeley picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Henry Rivers. Rivers was dynamite, rushing for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
The win got Berkeley back to even at 3-3. Rivers and Berkeley will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Wando at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Wando came up short on Friday despite Harris Stone delivering his best game to date. Stone threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
