Cj Nettles Delivers Electric Effort Vs South Walton
Starting off the list is Pensacola Catholic's Cj Nettles, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Nettles rushed for 167 yards and five touchdowns on only ten carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 148 rushing yards.
The win (which was Pensacola Catholic's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Nettles and Pensacola Catholic will head out on the road to face off against St. John Paul II at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Walton's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-3. Louthain and Walton have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Blountstown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
