3A-1 Region III District 11 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Jayden Jackson Leads Franklin over Troy
On Friday, Franklin got the W thanks in part to Jayden Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 17.9 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Jackson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Little River Academy on Friday. When Jackson last faced the Bumblebees back in November of 2023, he rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry.

He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 92 yards.
C.H. Yoe's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Grice and C.H. Yoe will challenge Troy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
