Nytavis Powell Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Montgomery Central's Nytavis Powell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Powell rushed for 184 yards while picking up 7.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 66 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Montgomery Central's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-2. Powell and Montgomery Central will take on Central Davidson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Kaison Phillips Delivers Electric Performance Vs Montgomery Central
Ledford had to settle for second on Friday, but Kaison Phillips sure wasn't going down easily. Phillips was dynamite, throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown. Ledford is 2-1 when Phillips posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Ledford now has a losing record at 3-4. Phillips will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Oak Grove on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.80
Seth Wiley Makes It Two for Ledford
Keeping Phillips company is Seth Wiley, a fellow Ledford player. He picked up 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 81 yards.
This year, Wiley has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 74 receiving yards per game.

LEE Posts Huge Game in 56-28 Defeat
Asheboro was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but QUINCEY LEE did his best to prevent it. LEE was dynamite, rushing for 46 yards and two touchdowns.

Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Bradley Byrd
Bradley Byrd continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
If the past is any indication, Byrd could be in store for another big game when he takes on Ledford on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Byrd saw the Panthers), he made 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
