1A Region 6 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!
Malaki Cary Delivers Electric Performance Vs Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central
Starting off the list is Houston County's Malaki Cary, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cary rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest reception was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Cary must have Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cary rushed for 187 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in September of 2023.
