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!
Jacques Chiller's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Riverside Military Academy over Loganville Christian Academy
Starting off the list is Riverside Military Academy's Jacques Chiller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Chiller rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown. Those 225 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Riverside Military Academy is on a 16-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Chiller will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Piedmont Academy on Friday.

George Walton Academy Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Aj Dillard
George Walton Academy picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aj Dillard. Piedmont Academy had no answer to Dillard as he rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 110 yards and a touchdown on only seven passes. Dillard is becoming a predictor of George Walton Academy's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
George Walton Academy is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Dillard and George Walton Academy will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Riverside Military Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.
