Grant Lawless Goes Supernova in East Lincoln Win

Starting off the list is East Lincoln's Grant Lawless, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lawless threw for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

If the past is any indication, Lawless could be in store for another big game when he takes on North Iredell on Friday. Lawless threw for 179 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October of 2023.
