1A 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!
Caden "6" Collier Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is St. John Paul II's Caden "6" Collier, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. "6" Collier picked up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He is becoming a predictor of St. John Paul II's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
St. John Paul II moved to 2-4 with that victory, which also ended their four-game losing streak. "6" Collier's next matchup is against North Florida Christian on Monday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Gavin Ford Delivers Best Effort of Season

On the year, Ford has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 157.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 51.92 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 84.48 passer rating.

George Grant's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Maclay over St. John Paul II

This season, Grant has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 233.8 passing yards per game.
