AA Region 4 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 Performance from Dwanye Louallen Jr Leads Central over Chesterfield
On Friday, Central got the W thanks in part to Dwanye Louallen Jr playing the best football he has all season. Louallen Jr rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 249 yards on 16 of 24 attempts, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Louallen Jr has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 96.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 4.11 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 31.56 rushing yards.
