Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jett Goldsberry was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to six on Friday. Goldsberry was excellent, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 53 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.8). He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Goldsberry might have his next game, a home matchup with Washington, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Goldsberry saw the Hatchets), he threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Lesure As Washington Fell 35-18
While Washington might've come up empty on Friday, Xavion Lesure wasn't going down without a fight. Boonville had no answer to Lesure as he picked up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 70 yards.
On the year, Lesure has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 22.1 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 49.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 93.75 rushing yards.

Hunter Meredith's Big Game Leads Heritage Hills over Princeton
Heritage Hills picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Meredith. Nobody could stop Meredith as he rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 61 yards.
Meredith must have Princeton's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Meredith rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 39.70
Boonville found a leader in Grant Davis as the team took down Washington on Friday. Davis did his part (and then some), rushing for 53 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
This year, Davis has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 59.25 rushing yards.
