1A Region 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rayshon Coleman's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Florala's Rayshon Coleman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Coleman rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made 25 total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The victory was the third in a row for Florala, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Red Level at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Quay Jackson Dazzles in Mckenzie Victory
Quay Jackson was instrumental in extending McKenzie's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Jackson as he threw for 301 yards and five touchdowns while completing 93.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.
Jackson and McKenzie will host Brantley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Jackson took on the Bulldogs, he picked up 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Big Game from Adkins As Elba Won 56-8
Elba picked up their fifth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Cayden Adkins. Adkins was dynamite, picking up a sack and making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss). He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 61 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Adkins might just drop another big game when he faces off against Georgiana on Friday. When Adkins last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 57.67
Jacob Ledbetter Makes It Two for Elba
Keeping Adkins company is Jacob Ledbetter, a fellow Elba player. He made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers dukes it out withGeorgiana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Ledbetter took on the Panthers, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made three total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 44.48
Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Alvin Henderson
Alvin Henderson continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Henderson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Georgiana on Friday. When Henderson last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 226 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry.
