AAAAAA Region 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Josiah Saunders Delivers Electric Effort Vs North Atlanta
Starting off the list is Lambert's Josiah Saunders, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Saunders rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He is becoming a predictor of Lambert's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The defeat snapped Lambert's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Saunders and Lambert will take on Alpharetta at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Haertel and Forsyth Central will take on Denmark at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Haertel will face off against Noah Laban, the 's star running back. Will the match be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Orris Made His Presence Known in West Forsyth's 37-14 Victory
Foster Orris was a major factor in West Forsyth's victory over Forsyth Central on Friday. Orris was dynamite, rushing for 108 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 60 receiving yards.
Forsyth Central's probably not too fond of Orris given he always seems to get the better of them. When Orris last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 27.05
Max Walraven Makes It Two for West Forsyth
Keeping Orris company is Max Walraven, a fellow West Forsyth player. He threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.5 yards per attempt.
If the past is any indication, Walraven could be in store for another big game when he takes on South Forsyth on Friday. When Walraven last faced the War Eagles back in November of 2023, he threw for 194 yards and five touchdowns on only 17 passes.
